With pig trotters, boudin noir, rillette and similar fare on the menu Slow Food London supper at Brawn which just got under way on July 19 as I am writing this sounds like a warm up gig to Meatopia, the NY event on July 23.
Set in the wine bar mold, Brawn was launched recently by the people who run Terroirs near Charing Cross Station.
Opened 7 days a week (closed evenings on Sundays), Brawn is 'serving cloudy reds, murky whites and loads of pig' (their own words).
If you don't eat meat, check the Plancha options:
Lemon Sole, Samphire, Lemon & Brown Butter £15
Cornish Sardines, Spiced Aubergine & Harissa £6
Dorset Clams, Chilli, Coriander & Spring Onions £8.50
The wine list offers many choices by the glass, mostly from small growers who adopted organic and natural ways.
