Breakfast at Hotel Park Broekhuizen (in Leersum, Netherlands)

Going down...

 

...for breakfast.

Not really my decoration style but...

 

...a nice view...

 

...to the terrace where we had dinner the night before.

 

The bridge over the lake looks very romantic 😊 

 

Breakfast was served at the table.

 

I had egg Benedict with salmon. 

 

Bye-bye!

 

Joaninha Bacana does not recommend. The building from outside is really impressive. But the room was nothing special, and the entire atmosphere was a bit stiff. Not our style.

Restaurant Session (in Leersum, Netherlands): Voltaire

In the evening, we went for dinner to restaurant Voltaire✨ from chef Arturo Dalhuisen. The official entrance...

 

...is in front of the building, but as we were staying in the hotel, we went directly from the inside. 

 

The weather was really nice and warm, so we stayed...

 

...on the terrace enjoying the view...

 

...to the lake and the garden.

 

Starting with the aperitif and...

 

...some first bites. Delicious😋

 

  

The first dish of the menu: yellow tail tuna | basil | tomato | ginger

 

Scallop | duck liver | kohlrabi | sambai

 

With the scallop, a glass of 2020 Chablis Broc de Biques from Ami

 

Cheers!

 

Turbot | chrolofyll | asparagus | morels 

 

Sweetbread | eggplant | cannelloni | ponzu 

 

With the fourth dish, a glass of 2018 Bourgogne "Les Charmes" Chardonnay from Thibault Liger-Belair 

 

As main dish, beef | shiitake | Parmesan cheese | black garlic.

 

With a glass of 2018 Tinto from Antonio Madeira. 

 

Across the trees... 

 

...a beautiful sunset!

 

Sweet time! A little sweet amuse before dessert.

 

 
For Roger, liquorice | coffee | hazelnut | caramel.

I got an alternative (as I hate liquorice). 

 

With dessert, a glass of 2006 Riesling Auslese Berncasteler Doctor from Weingut Witwe Dr. H. Thanisch. Very nice! 

 

The second dessert: raspberry | guave | lime.

  

Finishing the dinner with coffee...

 

...and a chocolate praliné.

Sleeping in Leersum (Netherlands): Hotel Parc Broekhuizen (from Inside)

We stayed at the Panorama Suite. The room was quite minimalist. I would have painted the wall behind the bed with another color or hang a picture. I missed the sense of luxury implied by the outside of the building (or the price of the room).

From the window, view to... 

 

...the front garden (also needing a bit of a touch 😊).

 

A long corridor leading to the bathroom. 

 

Sink with a view.

Sleeping in Leersum (Netherlands): Hotel Parc Broekhuizen

Arriving (again 😊) to our hotel.

 

Hotel Parc Broekhuizen - a beautiful building from the 15th century.

 

 

Majestic stairs.

 

The entrance is not on the top terrace, but here you can just seat and enjoy the view.

 

Around the manoir...

 

...several pieces... 

 

...of art.

 

On the right side, an orangery.

 

Including some curious goose 😊 

 

On the left side, the bistrot and... 

 

...a pond.

 

Time to enter the building and do our check-in.
