Circa The Prince 

The trendy and relaxed vibe of Circa creates such an encompassing atmosphere, your own table feels like your own world. There's a jazzy beat throughout and fantastic artworks hanging 
on minimalistic walls. 

To celebrate booking in to get married at Circa with my fiance, we had our anniversary dinner there earlier this year. To get a real feel for what Circa has to offer we couldn't go past the chefs selection menu to get a full scope of what's on offer. 

Let me take you through what we had

So yes, we were pleasantly stuffed by this stage but, wow, all the items on the chefs menu were divine.

I was particularly impressed with the delicate style of the selection compared to how the dishes sounded on the menu. 

It was great to tap into such an extensive wine list from the sommelier, the pairing was really harmonious with the dishes presented to us. The wine was literally treated like an extension of each dish. We loved that we were able to have tastes of the wine from all around the world too, great wine list. I loved the the story of dessert - the waiter explained that, the chef and the sommelier collaborated and crafted a dessert based on the Japanese  Green tea umeshu wine which was the perfect finish, it was light and refreshing which consolidated the whole selection so nicely. Which evidently wet our appetite for a post meal cocktail at the bar. 

We both came away from this gorgeous meal to say that every dish was a true showcase of the produce selected. Although each selection had a lot of elements to it they were perfectly paired to present the hero of the dish as best it could be presented which made everything so delightful. 

Such a special place for us, can't wait to get married there next year. 

LOVE
