Corporate dinners can often be heavy and unimaginative. Thankfully, this is not true when it comes to Baltic, a restaurant in Southwark specializing in the cuisines of Eastern and Central Europe.
While the restaurant offers 70+ different types of vodka, I played it safe and instead opted for a Spiced Pear Mojito, made from house infused Pear Vodka churned with fresh Lime, Mint, Cinnamon syrup, Pressed Apple Juice and Angostura bitters topped with soda water.
The first course was a fresh beet salad salad with spinach, goats cheese and walnuts.
For my main, I went with a roast duck leg with figs, apples and red cabbage. Divine!
To finish, I enjoyed a rhubarb and apple szarlotka with vanilla ice-cream.
All in all, the food (and company) was wonderful. Baltic is located at 74 Blackfriars Rd, London SE1 8HA. For more information, visit Baltic’s website.
