Testimonials:
 |
| "The New Bell Restaurant sits atop the Old Bell Pub, a cheerful partner to the bar below. Owned by the same couple as Hellers Kitchen on Salisbury Place, this Southside establishment shares the same casual ambience and child-friendly attitude.
Old photographs adorn the peach walls and guest are seated at wooden tables with quirky mismatched chairs. The staff are extremely hospitable and the menu, filled with family favourites, proves to be just as pleasant.
Silky wild mushroom tortellini sit perched around a zesty onion and tarragon puree. A fillet of sea bream breaks at the slightest prod of the fork, and goes well with the sweet potato fondant, a hlaved crisp quail's egg, and a delicate caviar and champagne sauce. Sides such as the soft-yet-crispy beer-battered onion rings are given equal attention to the mains.
A house white wine of Californian Pinot Grigio is a good accompaniment to most dishes, as is a glass of ruby port with the faultless cheese board. The tables by the window offer a pleasing view.
+ well matched to the bar
- off the beaten track" |
