Jesmond restaurant Lovage has launched a special £30 menu offer for November.
Recently given five out of five stars by food writer William Sitwell in The Telegraph, who applauded the “neat, delicate, good and honest cooking” – Lovage’s new three-course menu will run Thursday and Friday noon-2pm, Wednesday to Friday evenings 5pm-5.45pm, and Saturdays noon-5.45pm.
Diners can pick from starters including padron peppers served with lemon aioli; labneh with confit garlic and carta di musica – a thin Sardinian cracker; burrata, roasted pumpkin, toasted seeds and Baharat; and Cornish sardines with salsa verde and pangratatto.
Main courses include Mediterranean spiced king oyster mushroom with butter bean mash; skate wing with caper and cordyceps beurre blanc, potatoes and sea veg; and confit duck leg, polenta, caponata Siciliana and cavolo nero.
The desserts include Lovage favourites – a pistachio tiramisu which William Sitwell described as “one to impress the fussiest of Italian dessert aficionados”; carrot cake with honey yoghurt; and amaretto affogato with biscotti.
