The Summerhill is quaint, cozy & rather charming.
The Le Tour de France brunch trolley concept is an interesting, communal, flavour-packed experience where you can sample a range of comforting, thoughtful French-inspired dishes delivered to the table, with plenty of variety and room for seconds. Some dishes are served singly, some to be shared. You go one round of everything that they serve, giving you a slow, social, tasting-menu feel, and then re-order whatever favourites that you fancy afterwards.
For starters, we were served Fresh bread with poached eggs in red wine. Then we had a small dish with light bites of ham, brie & terrine. Lastly, came the garlic, onion & tomato soup with duck confit & duck fat croutons. Quite a lot to savour.
For mains, we were served Halibut fillet with butter, grilled pork ribs, beef stew with mashed potatoes, french styled poached chicken & chicken rice, braised squid in tomato, red pepper & white wine. Lastly, we had a dish of greens-garlic flavoured french beans.
For dessert, you can help yourself at the ‘snow cone bar’-a DIY shaved ice treat with various syrups and toppings. You can skip this if you’re the health conscious type. Finally, the servers will bring to the table the restaurant’s signature chocolate log cake-very rich & sinful. We finished off brunch with a cup of cappuccino each.
My take is this - Summerhill provides a calm, unhurried dining experience, made more appealing by its wide variety of offerings. With efficient & friendly service staff, Summerhill is a good choice for brunch.
