The Honours (New Town)

• The Honours is a high quality brasserie on North Castle Street
• Six of us got together a couple of Saturdays ago to celebrate a birthday and The Honours was the restaurant of choice
• The Honours is a hopping place
• Half a dozen oysters to start and a beef fillet with Bearnaise sauce and tomato salad for mains
• The oysters were plump and fresh
• Thin shards of shell in your oyster is horrible &ndash
• C had a spelt risotto with mozzarella while other members of the party had prawns Mary Rose and jamon belotta
• S wine list and it went very well with the oysters
• I had asked for my steak rare so it was larger than everyone else&rsquo
• It has been dry matured for 28 days and is darkly flavoursome and juicy yet bloodless
• C had the gnocchi and there was also a sea bream a la plancha on the table
• (There were vegetarian options were but they were not the most imaginative
• Airy thing and it seems they are quite fashionable at the moment
• ) The flavour du jour was pink grapefruit
• The dessert that came out was as light and tall as you could wish for and had a very subtle grapefruit flavour
• The cinnamon ice cream that was served with it was rich and delicious
• Martin Wishart's new edition is definitely worth a visit
• Service is professional and ambience is beautiful and contemporary
• The restaurant has great ambience with classy decor
• I would highly recommend you to try Fresh Oysters with Lemon &
• Their house cured smoked salmon is another appetiser to start with also
• Arguably the best pound for pound food I&rsquo
