The Pigalle SUPPERCLUB series which kicked off on 14 August is now in full swing and I was lucky enough to finally make my way over there last Thursday eve to catch Zebra & Giraffe rocking it out on the Pigalle stage.
Just to recap (for those who missed my feature & ticket giveaway back in August) – SUPPERCLUB is based on the cabaret concept of the American 1930s & 40s and aims to recreate the atmosphere of the NY underground jazz club scene of that time.
The evening’s activities include a 3 course menu (created by head Chef Paul Flitchet), along with a Johnnie Walker Gold Label Reserve whisky-based cocktail pairing, and then also some live entertainment in the form of a different SA band at each session.
Now I hadn’t been to Pigalle in quite a few years, and I must admit, I had forgotten how beautiful this restaurant is. It’s total glamour from the moment you walk in the door and the ambience has a bit of an old Hollywood feel:
We got there nice & early, if you do the same, you can also enjoy a drink at the bar before everyone settles down in the dining room.
The trinchado starter is an absolute must for the meat lovers out there, but if you’re looking for something a bit lighter, then the prawn cocktail is lovely as well. Both the prawns & beef fillet mains are excellent, although there was also a mushroom risotto on the menu which sounded delicious as well. And then for dessert, chocoholics should just go straight for the fondant (it’s heaven on a plate), but for the non-chocoholics, the creme brulee is a great choice too.
