FG ≫ 2004 ≫ Shanel's Brasserie

Delighted to see that a phoenix has risen from the flames of Kapetan Michales, and it's not a kentucky fried one either. Popped into Sharnel's Brasserie on Saturday for some much needed sustenance on a bank holiday beer festival weekend. We were warmly greeted and successfully seated by one of the owners, and immediately treated to bread rolls and nibbles, olives, pickles and biscuit type things.

We skipped starters (apart from the aforementoned platter) to leave room fordesserts, so straight to the mains. I plumped for the roasted vegetables and my companions chose steaks, well done. Possibly there was a mixup as a result of staff shortages, but it seemsthere was no alternative to the creamy potato side, so my roast veg (seemingly sauteed in wine and herbs) were accompanied only by more veg. Hopefully this will be fixed as we are sure to return.

Puds were simple but tasty, poached pear (singular) for me and cheesecake for the lady. With a couple of drinks each the bill came to less than 20 pounds a head, which is not cheap, but not bad. The welcome was warm, and we hope to return and test the winelist as soon as...

See a full list of Folkestone eating + bars, browse our reviews, find a restaurant on our map, does that still work? You can't leave yr own reviews here any more, sorry. This is my site The FG that I built in a frenzy of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone sometime in '04. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to.
