Il Millefiori, Chez Jerome Dunstable

We visited Chez Jerome as a belated Valentines Day treat and it is somewhere I have often driven past and wanted to go in. Myself and my wife arrived at the restaurant at around 7pm and we were the first diners. As a result we were seated at the best seat in the house and as you would expect service was rapid. During the eveing the restaurant got busier but the service did not suffer as a result.

Having ordered we enjoyed a glass of wine before the food arrived. The Starters were well presented, and tasted superb. The mains arrived and once again both presentation and taste were spot on perfect. We finished off with the dessert course - of which the Cremem brulee was to die for! and coffee.

My only issue was that we had the "3 courses for £17.95 menu" and although the food was excellent, the choice was not huge.

Food was wonderful and we would definately go back.

I went to Chez Jerome last night with my wife and we were both impressed with the menu, and the flavours of which dishes. I had the Scallops with cauliflower & bacon puree which supposely they are Chefs signature starter and they were cooked to perfection, my wife had the flat mushrooms in parmesan shavings, garlic and Parma Ham and she thought that they were absolutaly lovely but to big for a starter! As main course I had the filet of beef topped with foie fgras, the meat just melted in my mouth and the foie gras is real, for my surprise and fresh and is not a pate! We couldn't try the home desserts and by then we were to full have to go back and try them as the next table had a chcolate mousse that looked fantastic. Chez Jerome can get expensive when you wish to try their best dishes and a bottle of chauteaux neuf du pape! But is well worth every penny

My scallops were tasteless, no seasoning and they didnt taste fresh. The cauliflour puree was awful. My partners Duck with Orange Sauce was not great, virtually no sauce, nd my main course of Veal Medalions was tasteless and tough. The presentation was good, but perhaps the usual chef was away. I chose it based on the reviews I had read but would never go again.

The food at Il Millefiori is excellent and the front house welcoming and warm. The service very professional and the surroundings is rustic but very clean. The only proper restaurant we have in Dunstable for sure.

The background for Il Millefiori, Chez Jerome Dunstable has been in Michelin stared restaurants and they only work with good products. The surroundings is rustic and they have made from the menus and looks the contraction of the old and modern. I think is fantastic to go to a place where you have the old fashion, keep traditional, professional but also modern, relaxed and more open range.
