"We indulged in a slab of Welsh Rarebit the size of Texas and crusted over with a layer of caramelized spread of Cheddar mixed with beer. It’s the kind of sinful pleasure that seemed a bit embarrassing to experience in public."

"The rarebit was rich with flavor, and I liked the dressed-up presentation by way of a microgreen salad."

"While skimming the menu at Musso & Frank, you could easily miss the Welsh rarebit, filed under “Classics Made to Order” alongside Grilled Lamb Kidneys and Calf’s Sweetbreads. This would be a travesty, as dipping toast points into a succulent combination of melted cheese, bacon, and ale while sipping a perfect martini at the almost one-hundred-year-old Hollywood haunt is transportive. It’s one thing to feel like you’ve gone back in time to Hollywood’s golden age; It’s another to taste it. Traditional Welsh rarebit is served drizzled over toasted bread. But Musso & Frank serve theirs fondue-style, with bacon and tomatoes, making it a wonderful, shareable first course."

"As Welsh rarebit goes, this is as good as it gets. And we love the fact that all ingredients are either home-grown or locally sourced."

"Robert's heart lies in homier comforts, and his updates to the classics rise high on ingredients and techniques. Beer and grain mustard perk up the cheesy smear of Mornay that gets broiled to a speckled brown glaze over Welsh rarebit toasts made from puffy buttermilk bread."

"It was really quite tasty. Ivan and I both don’t like yellow mustard. But, Dijon mustard can be quite nice mixed with something good like cheese."

"Where to eat a welsh in Paris: Café de Flore - Mythical café in Saint-Germain-des-Près, Café de Flore serves delicious welsh. In an art deco room, you can taste it at any time. It will still be necessary to pay 17 euros to fool around with excellence."

"I can highly recommend their welsh rarebit with sauteed leeks added to the cheese mixture and their scones and cakes."
