🇬🇧 I Found the GOD of Pistachio Basque Cheesecake…
PLEASE everyone, go try this baklava pistachio Basque cake 🥹 One bite and I had a Hitchcock zoom moment… My friend booked Penelope’s near Covent Garden—it’s technically an Israeli restaurant but leans into fusion cuisine. ✨ Highlights: 🍣 Tuna Ceviche – Think tuna tartare but better! The sauce is chef’s kiss, and the mango adds a refreshing twist. 🐑 Lamb Sweetbread – Looks like brain (lol) and has a strong lamb flavor. Personally, I prefer beef sweetbread, but worth a try for the adventurous! 🐟 Monkfish – Super firm texture, with mushrooms & crispy onions stealing the show. The XO sauce pairing? Genius. 🍰 BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE – THE STAR OF THE NIGHT‼️ Pistachio lovers, this is your holy grail. Silky-smooth cheesecake, perfectly balanced sweetness, LOADED with pistachios, and the baklava crust? Divine.
