GemNi Restaurant — Restaurant in Borough of Rossendale

Top marks in all categories, the food was great, we had the 5 course taster menu at £50 and it was delicious. Being a taster menu you only got small portions so we wasn't overly full at the end of 5 courses. Unusual combinations ie. Pear and Gorgonzola ice cream and curried parsnip and pears but it all went together really well. You can have a 7 course taster menu which includes another middle course and a cheese board for £65. Matched wines are an additional £40pp. Nb. You can only have these if ALL the guests at the table are having the same.

Because of this we decided not to leave a tip but we dident realise that a service charge had already been added to our bill and only realised after we had left, I don't mind tipping for goid service but it Wasent and we weren't verbally told the service charge had been applied. Would defenatly go back as the food...

It was my first time visiting this little gem of a restaurant. Simple, elegant decor and furnishings create a relaxed calming atmosphere. I chose the soup which was smoked bacon and celeriac and tasted so divine, I could happily have had a vat of it, that came with a black pudding bread roll, which added another level of flavour to the dish. For my main I chose the Asian duck salad, which came with paprika fries and curry mayonnaise. The duck leg was confited perfectly, falling off the bone, and the skin was crispy all over. Another dish I could not fault. The staff were polite and friendly without being in your face. I will definitely be coming back, as there were so many other dishes I...
