Join Head Chef Daniel Ashmore for a celebration of the summer’s best seafood at The Pompadour by Galvin on Friday 4th May.
The Celebration of Seafood dinner will mark the beginning of this year’s seafood season, with an unforgettable four course menu and expertly paired wines. Using fresh local produce, along with flavours from across the world, the menu will showcase the very best of Scottish seafood within the stunning setting of the Pompadour by Galvin dining room.
Diners can indulge in North Berwick crab – creel-caught just half an hour from Edinburgh – served with a summer salad of heritage tomatoes and tomato consommé. The light, fresh flavours continue with a course of Asian-inspired scallop ceviche with lemongrass and lime leaf yogurt and mint pickled cucumber. This exquisite selection of Scottish shellfish is complemented by a mouthwatering dish of Dashi-poached fillet of wild turbot with oyster and radish, and the meal is rounded off with an indulgent dessert of bitter chocolate tarte with Valrhona Caramelia ice cream.
Each course is accompanied by a paired wine, carefully selected by the Pompadour by Galvin’s Head Sommelier, Damien Trinckquel. Guests will be able to sample fine wines from Australia, Germany and Spain, with each glass expertly chosen to match the flavours of the delicate seafood dishes.
Daniel Ashmore, Head Chef at The Pompadour by Galvin, says: “Scotland has some of the best seafood in the world, especially during the summer months. The Celebration of Seafood dinner will combine fresh flavours with seasonal produce and high-quality seafood for a truly memorable meal.”
