Restaurant Session (in Ermelo, Netherlands): Het Roode Koper

Going down for dinner, beautiful lighting at the stairs.

For dinner, we stayed in the restaurant from our hotel: Het Roode Koper✨ from chef Dennis van den Beld. Such a beautiful place!

 

As we were a bit early, we went for a little walk in the garden before... 

 

...heading to our table.

Olive oil, butter and salt.

 

As aperitif, a glass of champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut from Legras & Haas. 

 

The amuse bouche.

 

Dinner was weird (not sure how to described it otherwise). When we booked the room, we opted for the Culinary Package (that included a menu for dinner). We were the only table that was having this menu, and also the only table kind of ignored by the chef. He went to all other tables, had a chat with the guests, described the dishes. Our table got kind of ignored and, actually, it felt like we were a second class guests. It was not welcoming and, as I mentioned, just weird. The restaurant is so beautiful, but I would not go back. Very disappointing!

After dinner, we went for another walk at the property before going back to our room.
