Hello Everyone!
Today we are discussing one of my favourite things, food. Glorious, glorious food.
The lovely people at Jamie's Italian invited me along to try their Super Lunch Menu and if you know anything about me, you'll know this was a no brainer for me, I love Jamie Oliver (especially when he does those Christmas cooking shows, yes Jamie, yes!) and I have a fair few Jamie Oliver cookbooks (Shout out to Jamie's 15 Minute Meals) but mainly, yes I love food.
Now before we get into the good bit (the food) let me just mention that the decor inside Jamie's Italian is very much how you would imagine a gorgeous little Italian bistro in the heart of Rome would look, very intimate with atmospheric mood lighting... Unfortunately, I wasn't expecting the mood lighting and thus I made the error of taking my small camera without all the flashes and so some of the interior shots are a little darker than normal, so should you be blogging a visit, don't make my mistake, take your professional camera!
So, as I said earlier I went to Jamie's Italian in Edinburgh to try the Super Lunch Menu with Mr Sparkles of Light and Baby Sparkles of Light.
Mr Sparkles and I decided to go for the three courses from the Lunch Menu:
Meanwhile, mini me was treated to the kid's menu:
Seriously, all the noms, every last one. My mouth is watering looking back and remembering this now.
Mr Sparkles opted for Fritto Misto, which was sustainable fish and squid fried in fennel spiced flour... again, all of the noms, I of course sampled his too because... I'm a professional ok?
*Disclaimer, I really tried everything that came to our table because I'm a little greedums*
Mr Sparkles finally settled on steak and fries which was cooked in a herby garlic butter and served with fresh rocket and parmesan.
After the #ShareGate, it was time to pick our puddings, for me there was only one viable option, Epic Brownie, if ever there is some form of chocolate cake or brownie on the menu, no other dish will get a look in.
My brownie came with salted caramel ice cream and caramalised popcorn (I know right? I bet you're drooling now).
This was such a cute idea for kids and the presentation was fantastic, most of it was eaten and Baby Sparkles made her mummy proud, she stole our food too, ah mini me.
I absolutely loved Jamie's Italian in Edinburgh, I'll definitely be going back soon as there was so much I wanted to try, everything we had was really tasty and moreish, the waitress we had was lovely and even spoke to my little one which gained her some brownie points in my book.
Overall I couldn't recommend this place enough and I'd love to hear how you get on if you do go (or if you go to one off the other Jamie's Italians up and down the country).
Where do you like to eat out?
