"we were on the cribbs causeway who bought and we stopped at the patisserie valerie for a coffee and a snack. there are some places where they can have a coffee in cribbs, but what I like about patisserie valerie is that it is table service. so we sat at our table and looked over the menu. the place was busy, but the service was excellent, and we didn't have to wait long to order. my first choice was an aprikosendamm, but they had run out. So I went with my second choice, which was not a baked, but valeries walisische rarebit. our food arrived immediately, which was nice, especially since the place was quite full of diners. Valerie’s welsh rarebit was roasted with a pickled egg, tomato cahutney, cheddar, slender with a beside salad. I don't think I ever had rarebit, so I was interested to see how it would be. that was a beautiful freches toast dish, the senf was subtle and added warmth. the fried egg was perfectly cooked. I liked the tomato chutney that was on the side, I thought it was a little too sweet for me. overall it was a really nice light meal. I think one of the reasons I had not ordered or had before was that I was actually looking for cake or a complete meal. Valerie’s welsh rarebit for me is more of a snack, or a light meal. next to me I had a flat white, not the best flat white of the world, but it was a good coffee."
