Lauren - Jamie's Fifteen

Jamie Oliver - Fifteen

15 Westland Place, London, N1 7LP

So, September its my birthday and how do I celebrate? With a week long of wining, dining and more wining. This year to start the celebrations me and a few friends headed to Jamie's Fifteen near Old street for some amazing food.

As is typical with five girls we managed to get lost on the northern line and arrive half an hour late for our reservation, but the staff at Jamie's could not of been friendlier, after sending us to the bar for some refreshments they went about trying to find us a table.

A short wait later and we were sat at a table and deliberating through the menu. Luckily for us we were advised by our waiter to treat the menu as a tapas and order lots of plates to share and that the dishes come as and when they are ready.

We couldn't have the bread as it was sold out (nice to know its fresh) but we did decide on;

• Olives
• Deviled eggs and smoked cod roe
• New season potatoes, Lincolnshire poacher and pickled onions
• Cured trout, creme fraiche and radish
• Cornish sardines, rye flat bread, tomatoes and olives
• Cockles, bacon and samphire
• Grilled plaice, cauliflower and curry oil
• Braised lamb, baby carrots and new season garlic

All the dishes were beatifully presented and tasted sensational. The only thing I did not enjoy was the cauliflower which came with the plaice but I just do not like cauliflower, the other diners thoroughly enjoyed it.

Desert was an easier decision, 6 girls 5 puddings..... Yep, we ordered one of each. Now admittedly my favorite was the lemon meringue pie but they may be because they put candles in it and wrote happy birthday in chocolate. I also, really enjoyed the salted caramel eclair, the Madeline's, a creamy sylabob and the plum tart. I did not enjoy the chocolate and malt mousse as much but that did not stop me putting my spoon in more than once.

At only £40 each including wine I can not wait to go again.............
