We went as a group to this newly starred restaurant in our hometown for a relaxed bachelorette party. It was my first Michel star restaurant (had only gone to Michelin recommended places at most in the past). It was definitely a meal to remember. We took the tasting menu, as pictured above.
It started out really amazingly, with a buckwheat tartelette, tomatillo jelly and some grated Parmesan on top. They also gave us a taste of their specialty mussel which was a wonderful surprise (couldn’t take a picture before the second one was snagged off the plate!)
The tuna with green peas was my favourite dish from the evening. It was so bright and citrusy, and the tuna didn’t have that bloody taste (pardon my peasant pallet).
The next dish, the scallop with daikon was, something. I do not enjoy daikon, and this one was très très bland. The sauce was peanutty and it just felt like nothing on the plate really complimented each other.
The buckwheat spaghetti was marvellous. Tomato 3 ways. Bold flavour, umami, wonderful.
The veal was cooked to perfection, food overdose was lightly setting in so we took a while to eat this one. The morelle mushroom was stuffed with more veal but the star of this service was the sweetbreads skewer. Some friends were turned off at the thought of eating organs so we got extra of that.
First dessert was an ode to maize. The madeleine was very interesting, but the antithesis of flavours between the sharpness of the raspberry coulis and the creaminess of the corn mousse (?) was great and unexpected.
The tiny bb extra desserts were a lovely addition but it was kind of loud inside by then so I couldn’t hear exactly what it was.
