The Willoughton Wanderer

"Eating my way through life one bite at a time!"

Date of Visit: March 2023

Etto is an independent brasserie located in Lakeside Outlet Village, Doncaster. They describe themselves on the Lakeside Village website as having “an elegantly minimalist Scandi style…with an understated design featuring an airy space, filled with light.” They’re not wrong.

We have been going to Etto for some time now and always thoroughly enjoy what they have to offer, and this time was no exception.

It was a Friday lunchtime in March and as always the place was rammed, which is always a good sign, but we managed to find a table for the two of us. I ordered at the counter and the teas, good old Yorkshire Tea (none of your catering quality) was delivered to our table quickly. The brunches and lunches on offer vary from a glorious Yorkshire Rarebit to an open smashed avocado sandwich. There is a nice array of dishes on offer and they have the balance just right, not too many choices to stress the kitchen.

I ordered the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs with avocado on sourdough bread and my wife chose the spicy chicken wrap. Despite the number of people in the restaurant the food arrived quickly and was piping hot (again the kitchen can cope). I really can’t fault this eatery and the food lived up to both our expectations.

The scrambled eggs were light and creamy with a sprinkling of cracked black pepper on top and the smoked salmon and avocado were placed to one side of each other on the eggs. Mrs Wanderer was delighted with her chicken wrap and said that, unlike offerings from other outlets, it was light and tasty and had a good amount of heat.

As I say I can’t fault Etto and it is the place to eat at if you ever find yourself at the outlet village. I thoroughly recommend it!

Score: 5 Stars.
