Royal Tunbridge Wells is one of my favourite places to shop and eat. It has a big Fenwick's that houses fabulous makeup and shoes, I can happily while away a few hours in this store.
On my last visit to Tunbridge Wells after a hard days shopping, I spotted Cau restaurant, which has only recently opened. Cau is the sister restaurant of my favourite Gaucho Grill. The menu is from Argentina and I knew it had to be the place for dinner given the wonderful meals I have had in Gaucho Grills.
The inside decor is cool with a wonderful sky effect as a ceiling and cloud lights above a silver wine bar. The restaurant is set over two floors with a spiral staircase.
The menu offers small plates, to start which are great for sharing. Mains offered are steaks, burgers, salads and chicken.
We opted for some small plates to share to start ...
Argentinian crispbreads: Spanish chorizo, tomato and rocket, roasted aubergine and mozzarella, tomato, chili and pancetta, sweet onion, mozzarella and oregano. The dips are delicious as are the authentic breads. 
The belly of pork tempura is delicious but huge I am very glad I am sharing as this is a main in its self.
The tempura of smoked beef was yummy, great flavour and I would have happily eaten it all. Ok I possibly had more than my equal share, but I just couldn't resist.
The fillet of rump is delicious. It melts in your mouth as a good steak should and the chimichurri marinade is an excellent addition.
Overall a lovely restaurant and considering its newness excellent attentive service without being overbearing. We will definitely be back.
Not based in Tunbridge Wells, don't worry they have restaurants in Cambridge, Guildford, Blackheath, Kingston and Amsterdam.

This all looks delicious, I love the sound of the steak :) xx
ReplyDeleteThe steak was absolutely yummy mouth-wateringly good x
DeleteBefore we start chatting food I just have to give you a big cheesy grin and say "FENWICKS" ... OMG I love it so much! I'd never really been in one before I lived in Newcastle and now it's one of my favourite stores to mooch around, only today I was in there looking at all the designer handbags I'll never be able to afford :D
ReplyDeleteThe steak looks absolutely delicious .. just one question though, where's dessert?!!!

I love mooching in Fenwick's too such a lovely shop. If you lived in london I am sure we would be good friends. The steak was so lovely was really yummy. Trust me if there was any room for desert I definitely would have eaten it but moving was difficult after the amount we had consumed x
DeleteThe starters look lovely, but the mains aren't very original.
ReplyDeleteYou would have such an awesome time here, I've taken loads of photos of food to put up on my blog when I get back. We weren't to Denny's tonight! I'm so excited to try all the American places!

Seeing food always makes me salivate too. I love food cooking it, talking about it and eating it.
DeleteNothing beats great steak. This looks so delicious. I would have had to share some of that too, because that looks like a lot of food. I wish there was an Argentinian restaurant here.
ReplyDeleteDelicious! ... we really shouldn't read your blog when we're hungry ;-) You visit such lovely places. Love the look of the dips and bread.
