Restaurant Session (in Kornelimünster): Sankt Benedikt

Enjoying a nice Saturday Summer evening by going for dinner at restaurant Sankt Benedikt✨ from chef Maximilian Kreus. As the beginning of the evening was still quite warm, we got to enjoy the first bites and aperitif outside on the terrace. Always a lovely view!

 

With the first bites... 

...a glass of Brut Sauvignon Blanc from Oliver Zeter.

 

Excellent food makes me happy 😊

 

Our amuse bouche. Very refreshing, perfect for Summer time!

Balfego bluefin tuna, watermelon and sesame. Great dish!

[Balfego Thunfish | Wassermelone | Sesam] 

 

With the first dish, a glass of 2020 Sonnenuhr Riesling Feinherb from Mosel Heinrichshof. 

Oxtail and lettuce. The taste was very good, but the cracker between both textures made it a bit difficult to get the perfect bite.

With the oxtail, a glass of 2021 Rosé Fumé from Knipser. Very nice! 

 

Dry aged sturgeon from Gressenich with...
