Heaven must be missing an Angel
Firstly, we have to mention the Broccoli and Ricotta Kataifi Pie. No wait, I'll get to that. First, the staff - they are extra special staff, friendly, lovely happy smiley staff. They make you feel welcome and wanted and actually made us feel like VIPs; they were so nice. Then the food... the food is amazingly good. You can tell it's fresh, it's local; we even saw deliveries coming in as we left from local fishmongers and ice cream makers.
I'm writing as fast as I can because I'm bursting to tell you about the Broccoli and Ricotta Kataifi Pie. However, bear with me for a moment because we had starters: Goats cheese croquettes for me and prawn focaccia for Mum - both were delightful to look at and tasted amazing. Piles of fresh, juicy prawns on freshly toasted focaccia, and the goats cheese croquettes were sublime. I already want to go back just for those starters!
NOW, I get to talk about the Broccoli and Ricotta Kataifi Pie. I've never had this kind of pie before - the top is like finely shredded, crispy, buttery pastry goodness. I didn't see a van delivering this, so I highly suspect it's ordered directly from Heaven or that the chef is actually an angel. The filling inside was light, creamy, and perfectly balanced with a touch of lemon. It's safe to say we've never tasted a pie quite like this before, and it left us longing for more... you have to try this pie. Mum had the char-grilled chicken breast on patatas bravas, and it was gorgeous (we taste each other's food), but my pie was the winner.
As if the starters and main course weren't enough to delight our taste buds, the desserts pushed us into foodie paradise. My mum, claiming to be too full, couldn't resist the allure of the Vanilla and Tonka Bean Creme Brulee. Watching her devour it in minutes was proof of its deliciousness. Meanwhile, I savored the Brownie with Chocolate Tuille and Mint Ice Cream, a divine combination that rounded off the meal perfectly. Had to undo the top button of my jeans tho on the drive home. Worth it
We cannot thank Catch 22 enough for providing us with such a wonderful afternoon. We're already planning our return visit to explore more of their exquisite menu, so lucky you're local. Diolch x
