Another in the pantheon of great restaurants in Borough Market, Black and Blue does good meat and is a nice place to eat, it certainly utilises the arch space it inhabits well. A lobby like bar flanked with high tables for those waiting sees a narrow corridor area to the left and a large American style diner area to the right. Cows adorn the restaurant including this fellow who meets you as you step out the lift that takes you to the toilet.
The food is focused on meat, steak to be precise and the t-bones we ordered were of the highest order. A glass of cab-sav on the side made it all slip down a treat. Onto the coffee; time being short an espresso was ordered.
The espresso came in a largish mug and was itself quite big. The aroma was fantastic and the first taste was a great big hit to the pallet. Touching all the right notes, smooth and flavoursome it was not quite an espresso, more an americano due to the strength and the size. It didn't seem overespressed in flavour as it was sweet and not overly bitter but the amount of water reduced the strength. Still even at this size there was enough raw coffee there to keep the taste and a nice oily sheen.
- Double Espresso
- Strong (but could be stronger)
- Great aroma and a full flavour
- Good Crema
- Large
- £3
A very nice tasting drink and the only criticism is one of definition, a little large and therefore a little weak for the drink ordered.
