Gamtae sandwich
So dinner at Sollip made me very happy. Daikon tarte tatin? Fig leaf creme brulee? Fermented soy bean gougeres? Not only were these dishes eye-catchingly original on the menu, each was beautiful to look at and delivered exactly what it promised.
Daikon tarte tatin
Take the daikon tarte tatin. It turns out that robust brassica notes with a sticky-sweet glaze work incredibly well, especially on top of a thin base of crispy nutty brown pastry. And it also turns out that an elegant smooth cream of potato and chive makes a great relish for this.
And a piece of sturdy white john dory is a powerful enough fish to emerge through a warming pale beef broth and a strong hit of smokey timiz peppercorn. There’s also a tiny little toasted finger sandwich of caerphilly cheese and gamtae, which turns out to be a feathery green seaweed with a strong herbal/salty/umami flavour that works wonders with the slightly melted cheese. Oh and a powerfully spicy beef tartare with a face-warming fizz of Korean chilli mixed through it.
Fig leaf creme brulee
I obviously loved Sollip. You’d pay £40 each for three courses and a snack, which is great for the sheer quality of the cuisine. Every dish is spot-on. Fair warning: if you have a hearty appetite, you’ll perhaps leave still a bit peckish. The food is light and the portions delicate. You can always just order more dishes, and I’d certainly recommend that!
