Review on La Luna

La Luna, formerly Brookes Restaurant is situated directly opposite Talbot Green designer shopping centre. Inside it looks trendily contemporary – especially the ground-floor restaurant, which is all abstract artwork on gleaming walls and bold glass-block surfaces.

The kitchen specialises in complex assemblages based on ingredients from the European larder and beyond: chilli-spiked grilled pork belly is served on a salad of Feta cheese, sun-bluish tomatoes and watercress with sweet-and-sour hoisin dressing, while seared fillet of sea bass comes with roasted fennel, sweet potato, king scallop tempura and herb beurre blanc. Desserts are equally intricate ideas such as dark chocolate and 'Black Forest' truffle with Griottine cherry sauce, white chocolate and Kirsch ice cream.

La Luna is also featured in: Michelin Guide, Hardens
