Five Star Dining at The Mercat Bar, Edinburgh

An absolutely marvellous evening was had by all - superlatives cannot describe the event - it was smashing .

Headed in to town along with Mrs. B ; collected Sparky Mark ; Sir Christopher's Ma, Elizabeth, and our Friend Carol en route to the Mercat where we met up with Gordon , Sandra, Tubs, Linda, Tam Finlay, Grant , Yvonne and many others for the Wine Club dinner.

The Menu.
++++++++++
Terrine of Smoked Salmon & Prawn or Carrot and Corriander soup.
++++++++++
Tomato & Puff Pastry Tart.
+++++++++++++++
Fillet of Beef with Madeira Jus and Potato Dauphinoise.
++++++++++++++++++++
Peach Melba.
++++++++++.
Selection of Cheese.

Each course was served with a different wine, however, we each had a sheet with lists of wines on it and had to guess from the description given by Tara, from Mathew Clarks which wine we were drinking, and then had to work out how much it cost per bottle - in the form of a "Call my Bluff" and at the end of the evening there were two joint winners, Grant @ Photogenix and Jo Jo - who each received a bottle of champagne.

The menu and meal was chosen by the newest of the Chefs, Andy , who was assisted on the evening by Jamie and young Chris in the kitchen . Everyone was very impressed.

Photos to be added later.
