If you’ve got space, the dessert card is a delight. The deconstructed pavlova, featuring blackcurrant sorbet, crumbly meringue and seasonal fruits, is light and tangy. The Colonel “Snickers” is more heavy duty with ice cream, peanuts and chocolate, but no less tasty.
The servers know exactly which drink pairs best with your main course so, unless you’re a real wine connoisseur, just follow their advice.
What’s not? The prices. Prepare for your wallet to take a real whack. (It is worth it though, honestly.)
Vibe: Huge glass windows and soft lighting give Colonel a delightful ambience, perfect for a date or a confidential business chat. The staff were also very happy to cater to dietary requirements.
Who’s picking up the check? If there’s any way you can get this on expenses, do it. Starter, main, dessert and a couple of drinks will set you back at least €100 each — and more if you opt for one of the prime cuts of meat.
Spotted: A lot of flashy cars parked outside: Bentleys, Maseratis and the like, indicating an elite clientèle — among which your reviewer felt wholly out of place.
