Had a great dinner at Carben, took my brother to try his first tasting menu experience and he had a blast. We couldn’t agree on what our favourite dish was because they were all so tasty. Service and atmosphere were great, professional but casual enough to not feel overwhelming. Had to ... edit and add that the milk bun was the best thing I’ve eaten in a long time. No picture because we ate it so fast. Read more
Great food and wonderful flavor kudos to the chef. However, both food and alcohol are overpriced, IMO. To be fair, the restaurant was half full on Friday evening so it could explain the pricing strategy by the management. Otherwise it would have got 6 starts. While I won't go ... back, we enjoyed our food Read more
Lovely experience at Carben this week. We enjoyed all of our dishes and I loved to see crafted mocktails on the menu. I don’t generally like asparagus but I couldn’t stop eating this perfectly grilled one & the slight citrus flavour on the lobster was great. The pickled mushroom on ... the crostini of the mushroom dish also took the dish to the next level for me. Read more
We've been to Carben several times and never been disappointed. As always we did the chef's tasting menu with wine pairings. Every dish is plated with care but still aiming to be wholesome "real" food rather than excessively precious haute cuisine. The wine pairings were thoughtful and highlighted every course. ... It's a strange thing for us to focus on because we're not normally dessert people but the pastry chef is an absolute genius. The desserts alone are worth the visit. Read more
We had the tasting menu at Carben and it was delicious. The dish that surprised us was the brussel sprouts, my partner is not a fan of them in any way and he wanted more! The tasting menu with wine pairing left us satisfied and full. The food was creative and we ... enjoyed our experience here! Thank you for helping us celebrate our anniversary. This review was overdue. Read more
