After a busy night of house viewing - no joy! - me and my prospective new housemates + a boyfriend headed to Gilgamun to debrief, destress and eat. We walked in on a whim and it was very nice inside. Busy, with live music and a very chilled out atmosphere which was much needed at the time!
The cocktails are on 241 (make sure you ask exactly which ones!) and I was informed that the mojitos were somewhat scrumptious. My bellinis were bubble-tastic and very nice flavoured. So nice that I had two!
Whilst we were there, we decided to eat once we saw the '2 courses for £9.90' sign. I sadly couldn't take a photo of the food as it was pretty darn dark in there but trust me, it was quite delicious.
- Pan Fried Calamari w/ Olives, Chorizo, Rosa tomatoes
- Brie wedges w/ onion relish
- Gnocchi in a gorgonzola sauce with gran panado & rocket
- Spicy chicken burger with avocado and salsa
The food was delicious, well-needed and came quite quickly. The staff also didn't bat an eyelid at us eating in the bar at nearly 9pm which was great considering nobody else was eating.
One gripe was the bill. We were told it was 2 courses for £9.90 and yet they tried to add an extra £4 to our bill and then after being told 'you'll have to wait, I'm doing other things' when we complained about the bill, he then tried to tell us we hadn't paid enough when we didn't pay the - and may I say it again - optional service charge. It put a damper on an otherwise lovely meal which was such a shame!
Damage: £26 for my two bellinis & two courses
