Fine dining for up to 50 people
with views over the Liverpool waterfront will be offered from next month on a
new balcony at the 7th floor Carpathia restaurant at the 30, James Street
hotel. The building was originally the offices of the White Star Line, owners
of the tragic Titanic, which hit an iceberg and sank in 1914, killing more than
1,500 passengers in the freezing seas; 1,352 men, half of which were crew, 109
women and 53 children.
On a happier note the
restaurant menu offers such starters as pan-fried sea-bream with salt baked
beetroot, lemon balm and olive oil (£9.50), and confit duck leg terrine with
orange gel, baby onions, beetroot puree and sourdough (£7.50). Main courses are
such as fillet of red mullet with a citrus and peanut crust, chilli and garlic
greens and minted pea puree (£17.50) and 8 oz fillet steak, short beef rib and
potato lattice with white onion puree, baby vegetables and roasting jus
(£28.50). Desserts include sticky toffee pudding with vanilla bean ice cream,
and almond brittle and baked rhubarb and custard cheesecake with set rhubarb
jelly and stem ginger, both at £6.50.
