Galileo at the Observatory Hotel was the second installment of our October DDT. Orange bavarois, dark chocolate mousse, and a smear of redcurrant sauce were the offer, plus a sweet Browns Brother bubbly to wash things down.
Orange bavarois: refreshing, lightly sweet citrus sorbet.Dark chocolate mousse encased in an intricate sponge and jelly* layer, white chocolate mousse smoothed over the dark chocolate mousse,
with a small blob of jelly* in the center.
Browns Brother bubbly: it felt like lightly carbonated botrytis semillon, didn't ask the staff what it is.
Verdict: It was nice, but InterContinental still reigns supreme.... maybe until the LeNotre Sugar Hit at Sofitel (Sunday 26th October)?

* not sure how else to describe the red layers (see photo) and the blob in the center of the chocolate mousse - I think it's made of firm jelly
