Yesterday I'd won an Instagram competition for 2 roast dinners at La Bistroteca in the Baltic Market. All I had to do was like the post, made sure I was following Baltic Market and La Bistroteca Liverpool on Instagram. Tag as many people as I wanted to gain more entries then I got a DM last Sunday saying I'd won! I've never won an Instagram competition before so that was exciting. They asked for my name and the time I was thinking of going.
They asked if we wanted sides and we got
Guinness Glazed Pigs in Blanket
Truffle Cauliflower Cheese with Garlic and Herby Breadcrumbs
The pigs in blankets were sweet which I wasn't expecting since it had a Guinness glaze. We weren't a fan of the truffle cauliflower cheese. I've had truffle before with pasta but it didn't really work with the cauliflower I don't think. If you love truffle and cauliflower cheese this is definitely for you!
Steak - Crispy confit garlic and thyme roast potatoes, fluffy Yorkshire pudding, honey-glazed carrots and winter greens, carrot puree and rich gravy
We both got the steak but should have got a chicken just to try both but the steak looked better. The meat was nice and soft. Could have done with the gravy all over the top of the food and the roast potatoes could have been crunchier but it was a good roast. We both enjoyed it and was so full after it.

La Bistroteca do steak fries, fish and chips, sandwiches, European taste bites. This weekend was the return of the roast hence the competition. It's served from 12pm until they sell out. They're also doing a Yorkshire pudding wrap from next weekend.
Pistachio filled Churros - £11
Churros Churreria
We were that full that we still had space for some churros. (After this I really was stuffed and glad we were walking round for the River of Light to walk all that food off!)
I've had the Biscoff and Kinder Bueno churros before but needed to try the pistachio ones. I thought I'd go different and try the filled but the normal ones are better. I felt like the inside of the churro wasn't cooked through properly. If you get the normal ones you get 5 skinny ones where as the filled you get 3 chunky ones. Also the pistachio sauce wasn't great. There was no pistachio taste to it. Think the Kinder Bueno might have been the best one out of the 3 I've had. They also do classic churros, milk chocolate, white chocolate, Nutella and Spanish caramel. I've tried all the good ones now!
Thanks Baltic Market and La Bistroteca for the competition and free roast dinner with sides!
