Petit Parle

Absolutely blown away by everything about Pollen....apart from the dessert. We had a great meal here and a wonderful time. The first two courses were exceptionally executed and absolutely delicious (I will remember the black pudding and poached egg with bacon jam for some time!). The waiter was probably the best I have experienced in quite some time so massive credit to him; excellent interaction with the diners and fantastic wine recommendations. Pollen is also very good value for money. Sadly the dessert, though, was dreadful. The chocolate chia pudding was a bland puddle and the deconstructed cheesecake was also tasteless and underwhelming. Pollen would be an easy 5-stars if not for that. A shame to end on that note but don't let it put you off coming here, perhaps just skip the dessert course!
