Restaurant Session (in Kornelimünster): Sankt Benedikt

Restaurant Sankt Benedikt ✨, from chef Maximilian Kreus, is open again for dinner! Very happy to be joining their reopening night :-)

To celebrate, a glass of 2016 Pinot Extra Brut Blanc de Noir from Jean Stodden.

Roger had the non-alcoholic aperitif - a great alcohol-free gin tonic!
 
 With the aperitif, some amuse bouche - delicious!
 
Cucumber with goat cheese.

Carrot sponge with tarragon.

Air baguette with olives and ricotta. 
 
The second amuse bouche: kimchi foam with shiitake and celery and...
 
... rice crackers with chilly. Full of flavour, sooo good!
 
 Bread, butter and olive oil.
 
With the dinner, a bottle of 2012 Merlot trocken from Weingut Drautz-Able. 

The first dish: beef tartar, herbs, Prunier caviar and a sour dough bread ice cream.
[Tatar vom Rinderfilet | Kräuter | Sauerteigbrot | Prunier Kaviar 5 Gramm]
 
As second dish, turbot with green peas, french radish and chervil. Great sauce!
[Steinbutt | Erbsen | Französische Radieschen | Kerbel]
 
Sea bass, fennel prepared in different ways, and aubergine. Excellent dish, we enjoyed it very much!! 
[Loup de Mer | Krustentiersud | Fenchel | Aubergine]
 
 Roskoff onion, miso and ginger. 
[Roskoff-Zwiebel | Miso | Ingwer]
 
 As main dish, US Prime, binchotan, leek and sweet potato.
[US Prime | Binchotan | Lauch | Süsskartoffel]

Dessert time! Starting with a sweet amuse of coffee and strawberries.
 
The dessert is always a highlight at Sankt Benedikt, and this time was not different. Peach, basil, lime. The vanilla sphere with a liquid core of basil was surprising and really, really good!
[Pfirsich | Basilikum | Limette]
 
 With the coffee, some gourmandises: madeleines...
 
... pralines, cookies and jelly.
 
 So nice that it is open again!!!
