Restaurant Session (in Sint-Martens-Voeren): Hoeve de Bies

In the beginning of May, we went for lunch at Hoeve des Bies, from chef Maurice Huynen. I love this restaurant, such a beautiful place and delicious food!

 

Enjoying the lounge area outside for the aperitif.

 

A glass of Brut Rosé from Domaine Crutzberg.

 

With the aperitif, appetizers from beetroot - macaron and...

 

...marinated version.

 

As it was a chilly day, time to go inside. Love the big glass doors, joining the out and inside space.

As amuse bouche, a variation of the val dieu salad. Delicious!

 

As second amuse bouche, asparagus a la flamande.

As first dish, crab royal, yuzu and kohlrabi.

 

Roger had the wine pairing. With the first dish, a glass of Semillon from winery Apricus Hill.

 

As the designated driver :-) , I had a Elderflower drink from Fentimans.

 

Tuna and veal, picalilli and capres.

 

As third dish, pike perch, leek, moule, fennel.

 

Including a little cracker.

With the pike pearch, a glass of 2015 Ratscher Morillon Startin from Gross.

 

 

I had a Rose Lemonade from Fentimans.

 

As fourth dish, shortrib and foie gras. So full of flavour!

 

Pairing with the shortrib and foie, a glass of 2018 Tempranillo Ribera Del Duero from Bodegas Arrocal.

 

The main dish: chicken, asparagus, cafe de Paris sauce and peas. Sauce was amazing, we loved this dish!

 

Sweet time! As dessert, cheesecake and peach. Delicious! Although we love their Dame Blanche too, it is a difficult choice :-)

 

With the dessert, a glass of 2017 Schwarzhofberger Riesling Spaetlese from Vereinigte Hospitien. Very nice!

Gourmandises and espresso.

 

Including a fresh baked madeleine. So good!
