Although the mussels and stronganoff were always bound to win the food fight, the chicken shook off stereotypes with a valiant effort. Enjoy taste that packs a punch with today’s Groupon: £35 for a six course Italian taster menu for two with wine at The Hispaniola Restaurant. Bringing swash and buckle to the dining experience, this pirate-themed restaurant is decked out with the golden bounty of authentic Italian dishes. The wood-panelled rooms were formerly Old Rutherford’s Bar, frequented by Robert Louis Stevenson, merrymakers, and many a swashbuckler. Shaking off the building’s former reputation, The Hispaniola opened to the avail of discerning palates, plating up an array of fresh Mediterranean cuisine and innovative culinary creations. This six course feast of seasonally changing options may include hearty minestrone soup, (£3.75), followed by an antipasti freddi dish(£7.95), and crostini misti: a selection of toasted home-made breads with buffalo mozzarella, tomato, grilled vegetables and goat's cheese (£6.95). Guests can clink to a successful meal with half a bottle of wine each, and move onto a choice of antipasti caldi, such as king prawns or calamari, followed by a pasta dish or perhaps a special such as sea bass in white wine sauce. Finishing off culinary extravaganzas will be a selection of mini desserts and an espresso.
