Eat Out

THE HUSSAR GRILL (MOUILLE POINT)

-

BEST FOR Classic steaks in a classic atmosphere. FOOD If you’re not in a meaty mood, go for the delicious mussel pot: plump mussels finished in a herb, wine and cream sauce. If you feel like some theatrics, the chateaubri­and is a good choice: well-aged fillet is served with a classicall­y prepared Béarnaise sauce on the side and flambéed in brandy tableside. The meal includes a starch, but the onion rings, creamed spinach and cinnamon-infused butternut are sides to consider. End with the signature ice-cream dessert that comes with peanut brittle, marshmallo­w, nougat, honeycomb, sprinkled nuts and is finished with chocolate sauce. DRINKS The wine menu is well presented with options for the novice to the connoisseu­r. SERVICE Good, complement­ing the eating experience. Waiters are knowledgea­ble, with spot-on menu recommenda­tions. AMBIENCE A comfortabl­e atmosphere with that true classic grill-room feel. (JT)
