Restaurant Session (in Kornelimünster): Sankt Benedikt

On Friday evening, we went for dinner at restaurant Sankt Benedikt✨. To start, some appetizers.

As aperitif, I had a glass of 2016 Riesling Brut from Fritz Haag.

 

Roger had a glass of 2021 Scheurebe trocken from Joh. Bapt. Schäfer.

 

As amuse bouche, an onion tartlet.

 

We mixed the dishes from the meat and fish menu with the vegetarian menu - that are an inspiration!! As first dish, beetroot, pistachio, camomile.

With the beetroot dish, a glass of Schäferstündchen from Joh. Bapt. Schäfer.

 

Veal tartare, Prunier Imperial caviar, szechuan pepper. Always a highlight!
