Restaurant Session (in Hamont-Achel, Belgium): Food Emotions

For Roger's birthday lunch, we went to restaurant Food Emotions, from chef Mark Bonneu, in Hamont-Achel (Belgium).

 

They renovated the restaurant, and now it is also open for dinner.

We love this place, always nice to be back 😊

 

With the aperitif...

 

...some appetizers. 

Red cabagge, apple and duck confit.

 

Tuna tartare on merengue - soooo good!

Mussel with smoked tea infusion olive cracker.

 

The amuse bouche: bisque ice cream (very good!!) with coffee powder and over a layer of celeriac. What an exquisite - and delicious - combination!

 

(Rosita) bread with...

 

...bacon and butter.

 

 As starter, fried foie gras, fig, dulce de leche.

 

The fried foie gras (so good!), then...

...in pate variation and...

 

...a cone of dulce de leche. Delicious!!

 

A glass of 2020 Gewuerztraminer Scharf from Weingut Seeperle.

 

Shrimp tempura.

 

As main dish, three variations of Angus beef 😍

 

With cheeks on a role.

 

Dessert time! The traditional Dame Blanche, with a creamy vanilla ice cream and...

 

...hot chocolate sauce. Perfection!

 

To finish an excellent lunch, espresso and gourmandises.
