Proost — Restaurant in Trafford

A welcomed new addition to Urmstons thriving food establishments. Proost - Cheers!

I was keen to sample the menu upon hearing of Urmstons newist restaurant, and it didn't disappoint.

The up-market restaurant with its tasteful decor, and relaxed atmosphere, the staff if not a little nervous, we're welcoming and attentive, the menu had a small but great selection; something for everyone, and a fantastic selection of wines and beers.

The food, was cooked beautifully, a few little tweaks needed, for example I'd be tempted to serve the prawn starter (aka - prawn star martini - £7) with the sauce on the side as by time they hit the table the batter was a little soggy, and the sweet chilli a little over powering, definitely forgivable as the prawns themselves were plump and juicy. We were a little disappointed as they had ran out of both the croquettes starters and this was definitely on our list to try. It just means we'll be coming back to try these!

For mains we went for the fillet steak (£20) with a brandy & peppercorn sauce, we were given a blue cheese sauce but this was rectified quickly and efficiently; the steak was cooked to perfection, we just needed a bigger jug of sauce! This was accompanied with crispy chunky chips, slow roasted Tomatoes and a beer battered onion ring. Our other main, the chicken breast in cognac, mustard and cream sauce (£16) this was accompanied with dauphinoise potatoes and a pea francaise, I think I can say I have never eaten a softer piece of chicken breast, my fork melted in to it as it soaked up the creamy sauce, my only criticism would be presentation; it just needed a bit of finesse, but it did not take anything away from the marriage of flavours on the plate.

We were so full but keen to try dessert so we chose to share the Baileys Creme Brulee (£5) thankfully we had a teaspoon on the table as the dessert spoons were so big, we could have eaten the Brulee in two spoonfuls, we definitely wanted too. This is one of the nicest Creme Brulee's I've ever eaten, and I have eaten a lot! The perfect amount of Baileys, so it didn't steal the show but let you know there was a very generous glug in there with the creamy set custard and crunch of burnt sugar, this definitely left us wanting to come back for more.

Proost is a real treat for Urmston, and I love the fact it is open Saturday & Sunday lunch time as this is something Urmston has been crying out for. I for one am looking forward to working my way through the rest of the dishes on the menu.

Thank you for a lovely meal, good luck with your...

My partner and I recently had the pleasure of dining at Proost, a local restaurant in Urmston, and what an experience it was! In today's fast-paced world, it's so important to support local businesses, and Proost is exactly the kind of place that makes this easy and enjoyable.

From the moment we walked in, the homely, dining room ambiance of Proost set the stage for what was to be a delightful meal. The staff were welcoming and attentive, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. But the real star of the show was the food, masterfully prepared by the talented Perrin.

Every dish was a testament to his culinary skills, with the quality, preparation, and finishing touches being absolutely top-notch. It's not every day you find such attention to detail and flavors that truly dance on your palate.

I was so impressed that I returned to Proost with my children and mum for a Sunday dinner. Let me tell you, it was nothing short of amazing. The Sunday dinner here has to be one of the best in the North West, hands down. The food was comforting yet sophisticated, a perfect blend for a family meal. In a world where chain restaurants can often overshadow local gems, Proost stands out for its quality, atmosphere, and genuinely passionate staff.

Supporting local businesses like Proost is not just about sustaining the local economy; it's about cherishing those unique experiences they offer, which you just can't get anywhere else. So, if you're in Urmston or nearby, do yourself a favor and visit Proost.

Whether it's a romantic meal, a family dinner, or just a casual outing, this place is sure to impress. Kudos to Perrin and the team at Proost for making each visit memorable. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

Highly...

Proost is the latest addition to the Urmston dining scene and is a real stand-out. It's a tiny place with maybe thirty seats, so booking is advisable. Most of the tables are set for two or four diners but we were led to a table for six (we'd booked a table for two) and then later in the evening another couple were seated at the opposite end, which felt a bit odd.

The menu is tiny with only a handful of dishes to choose from - whereas the wine list spans multiple pages the food menu fits on half a side of A4. For our starters we had the leek and St Agur tartlet, and the cheese and Leffe croquettes. Both were delicious, but my wife said her croquettes tasted like chicken. We mentioned this to the waitress who said "ah, that's where the confusion was," and admitted that another table had ordered the chicken croquettes and received the cheese ones in error. Not to worry - they were delicious anyway. For our main courses my wife ordered the Toulouse sausage with mashed potato, onion ring and onion gravy, and I went for the chicken in white wine, cream and cognac sauce. The chicken was incredibly tender, falling apart as I pushed my fork into it, and was delicious. The sausage dish was also lovely, like a very upmarket gastropub sausage & mash! My wife was too full for a dessert, but I ordered the Baileys creme brulee (she had a bit of it too) and it was lovely. The two slight issues aside (the wrong croquettes and the strange table arrangement) it was a lovely meal, and we'll definitely be...
