Expect the Unexpected at Cafe Parfait, Southampton

Well, Cafe Parfait in the centre of Southampton – most famous for being the place that Titanic departed on it’s ill-fated journey. Its the normal large city, industry, big business, retail centres and some historic buildings. There are also the usual hotels that mostly cater to the overnight stops for those taking an ocean cruise.

This is how we stumbled upon Cafe Parfait, quite by chance. The lavish interior gives the impression of a glamourous Parisienne Cafe seen in old movies. Despite the expensive interior, it has a warm and hospitable charm and we were welcomed like long-lost friends. After experiencing the ‘molecular’ cocktails served by barman Stu – were were won over – who could resist Sambucca Ice cream, created in a mist of swirling liquid nitrogen – this was no ordinary bar, but a place of sheer indulgence. We were easily persuaded to book in for a private dinner that night.

We were not disappointed. The ten course tasting menu, – the chef Ian and barman Stu choreographed the whole thing. It was all simple, delicious tastes – combined to give us incredible tastes and experiences – the influence was Mediterranean Tapas/Antipasta type dishes that just kept on coming. On top of this one of the resident DJs played subtle house music and a live sax accompanied to create something of a ‘jam’ session. The whole experience for just 18 of us took around 3 hours, we were made to feel like kings and left after sampling some great coffee and one last nightcap from Stu.
