The charm of The 1665 Brasserie starts the moment you step inside with its warm tones and classic design, creating a welcoming space for diners. The beautiful surroundings of The Mitre Hotel make it an ideal setting, whether you’re indoors, soaking in the cosy ambience, or out on the terrace enjoying views of the River Thames.
Start your meal with the grilled scallops, delicately seared and served with cauliflower cream, which creates a velvety contrast to the crispy pancetta and savory black pudding. Alternatively, the gold water prawn cocktail is a refreshing classic with a twist. Served with creamy mayonnaise, grilled gem lettuce, and a squeeze of lemon – both light and indulgent.
For the main event, the chicken Milanese is a true standout – tender, breaded chicken breast served with peppery rocket, shaved parmesan, and a zesty salsa verde. Accompanied by Koffman salted fries, it’s a perfect balance of crispy, fresh, and savoury. The line-caught Atlantic cod with cockles, winter samphire, creamy mash, and vermouth sauce is also fabulous. The perfectly cooked cod is flaky and tender, while the sauce adds a rich yet light finish, complemented by the fresh, sea-inspired flavours.
For dessert, the lemon sorbet is a perfect palate cleanser – sharp, tangy, and refreshing with a burst of citrus that leaves you feeling rejuvenated. The tiramisu is the perfect comforting dessert – beautifully layered, with the spiced bread adding a unique twist and the bitter chocolate crumb bringing depth to the classic flavours, while the brandy adds a warming finish.
