Louisiana Restaurant, Gala Casino, 61 Broomielaw, Glasgow - Oct 2012

25/10/2012 by Emma Leave a Comment

We were invited along to try out the re-vampled menu at Louisiana.  We jumped at the chance to try some different food, as well as to get inside a Casino.

Inside the drab exterior is a totally different world, chandeliers, glamourous ladies (and men!) as well as plush carpeting.

Looking down from the bar/dining area to the floor below.

 

The menu looked amazing, we were drooling all day at the thought of it.
FILO POT WITH SLOWED COOKED BEEF – Baked filo pasty pot with delicious slow cooked beef in a red wine sauce served with roasted garlic and balsamic cherry vine tomatoes
RIVERBOAT SEARED SCALLOPS – (Chef Recommends) Fresh Scottish scallops served with potato scones, radish tartar and a beetroot remoulade puree
BAKED HAGGIS NEW ORLEANS STYLE WITH A LUXURIOUS SWEET PLUM SAUCE – Haggis wrapped Cajun parcels served with fresh plum reduction
------------
ABERDEEN ANGUS BRAISED BEEF AND BRAMBLE LOIN – Our Signature Dish !!! . . Braised loin of succulent slow cooked beef, served on a potato rosti, with cauliflower puree, wild mushrooms flambéed in Drambuie, baby root vegetables and a bramble and red wine jus
BAKED FILLET OF SCOTTISH SEA BASS WITH SIZZLED GINGER, SPRING ONION & CHILLI  - Presented on a bed of hoi sin noodles with a zucchini tower balsamic roast vine tomatoes, and sizzled ginger, chilli and spring onions to finish
SPINACH AND GOATS CHEESE STUFFED CAJUN CHICKEN BREAST – Lemon, garlic and Cajun spice marinated chicken breast stuffed with spinach and goat’s cheese, pan fried and served with a fondant potato creamed leeks, and aubergine & courgette ratatouille tower
------------
CHOCOLATE BOMB - A chocolate lovers dream a delicious hot baked brownie smothered in a rich chocolate glaze, layered chocolate mouse, chocolate ice cream and a raspberry coulis.
TRIO OF MINATURE CHEESECAKES – indulge yourself with 3 delicious cheesecakes  - Belgium chocolate, wild raspberry, and lemon, and a trio of fresh sauces
DEEP FRIED ICE CREAM -Ice cream covered in a sweet maple filo, deep fried and served with chocolate dipped strawberries and baileys chantilly cream
 After being filled with lots of delicious cocktails, out came a shedload of canapes.  The media darlings of course loved it, no need to eat just pose,but us foodies, show us the real food!
We did get to see what the real portion sizes were, at the side of the restaurant were plates laid out with the dishes already cooked.  The canapes were lovely, mini versions of the dishes but this doesn't really give the real impression of the dish I think.

Looks impressive but will really have to go back incognito to get a proper taste of the food and how the flavours work together.
You don't have to be a member of the Casino to dine, and the restaurant is open 5pm until 3am.
Thanks to DADA events for the invitation!
