Restaurant Session (in Maastricht, Netherlands): Rantrée

On Saturday, we went for lunch at restaurant Rantrée✨, from chef Ralph Hermans, in Maastricht.

Comfy chairs. I like very much the decoration.
 
Roger can keep an eye on his car 😄 
 
With the aperitif, delicious bites.
 
 
  
Additionally, we asked for Iberico ham with toast bread and tomato. Really nice!
 
And a portion of caviar with... 
 
...buckwheat blini's with crème fraiche, egg and chives. 
 
The amuse bouche.
 
Warm bread and...
 
...a selection of butters.
 
Second amuse bouche. 
 
We chose a la carte. As starter, fried duck liver, rhubarb, yuzu, raspberry and elderflower. 
 
I had a glass of Nr 4 Reserve from The Madeira Collection. Very nice pairing. 
 
As main dish, turbot fillet with...
 
...little jam, kohlrabi, peas, celery and... 
 
...Hollandaise sauce. Delicious!

Pairing with the main dish, a glass of Waldar Win from Weinviertel.
 
Sweet time! Classic Dame Blanche with homemade vanilla ice-cream, warm chocolate and whipped cream. I prefer the warm chocolate only instead of the fine leaves of chocolate on the top.
 
To finish, espresso macchiato and...
 
 ...a trolley of gourmandises. Always a joy to be back!
