Restaurant Session (in Maasbracht, Netherlands): Da Vinci

On Saturday evening, we went to Maasbracht, in Netherlands.

Dinner at restaurant Da Vinci✨, from chef Margo Reuter.

 

Colorful plates.

 

As aperitif, a glass of Champagne Réserve Impériale from Moet and Chandon. 

 

With the aperitif, a selection of amuse bouche: macaron of carrots with tom kah gai and lemon, asparagus soup. Sonja krupuk with yuzu and leek.

 

Starting with the bread: a warm brioche.

 

We chose a la carte. I had the Salade Riche, with lobster, Pata Negra and foie gras. Very nice!

Came also with a side dish of lobster tempura.

Roger had the Duo "Pietjesveld": beef tartare, poached egg and filet américain.

After the brioche, more bread variations.

 

Sauté foie gras, caramelized apples on Calvados. The foie was very good, but the apples were cut in quite big sizes: I think it would have been more enjoyable if they were thin sliced instead.

As main dish, lobster tempura on saffron risotto and nage from losbster.

 And a lobster salad on toast. This was delicious! 

 
Sweet time! We went for the classic...

 

...Dame Blanche. 

To finish dinner, an espresso macchiato and...

 

...a selection of gourmandises.

 Lollipop, marshmallows...

 

...and a sweet tray with...

 

 ...lemon cake and praliné.
