AI summary of what 5 dish mentions say about the food
The Pie Room’s pork pie earns rapturous praise, with reviewers calling it a masterful, buttery triumph. The overall vibe is one of cozy, unpretentious comfort that feels like a warm hug.
“Our pies have arrived and they're objectively beautiful. This one might not be your thing, but you can't tell me they're ugly. They smell amazing. On the pork one, we also have to pour some sauce on top. I'm almost already good like this. I don't think so, I want to taste them. Ready? Nice and steaming. Voilà. The minced pork inside... It's very tasty, very indulgent, and the outside pastry part is good because it has a super crunchy crust. Carrots to clean your conscience, because from a caloric point of view, you don't exactly come out with a clean conscience, eh. Here, guys, with the carrots we're set. These are cooked to perfection: soft, buttery. And look at the presentation. They're plated beautifully.”

Dishes mentioned
Chicken and Tarragon Pie
I got this pie with chicken and tarragon. It's super juicy, I'm telling you. The chicken pieces are proper chunks of meat, not some mushy mince. It's very oily, my fingers are dripping with oil. The puff pastry is approved. The amount of fat makes the difference, but it's really very good. And what makes it good is that it's moist inside, not dry. Moisture and various greasiness... and eventual.
Dauphinoise Pie
This is a Dauphinoise, so potatoes. Very high expectations. Et voilà. So good. With onions, potatoes, super soft, super moist, just the right amount of greasiness, meaning a lot. Well done, well done, well done.
Scotch Egg
This is a typical English recipe: soft-boiled eggs with cooked white and runny yolk, wrapped in a sausage meatball, then fried. Here they're laid on a bed of mashed potatoes. Let me open one... Ah, yes. As I expected. Sausage, so pork flavor, soft yolk. Watch out! Those underneath aren't potatoes. It looks like a celeriac cream, slightly acidic, and it goes very well to degrease the sausage fat, the fried stuff, and the egg yolk. Definitely not a light dish, and precisely because of that, we like it. Delicious, guys. It's the perfect appetizer that opens your stomach for the pie.

Steamed Pie (Beef)
This one isn't baked in the oven. It's steamed, like they used to do, so it has a completely different texture from the previous one. This is my home, guys. It's long-cooked meat that melts in your mouth. What can I tell you? The texture is totally different because, being soaked in liquid, it's almost like a gnocco. Comfort food to the nth power.
