Fred!

Since three years my boyfriend and I have the tradition to not give each other presents for x-mas, instead we go to a good (read: Michelin-starred) restaurant together. We've been to Ivy and Parkheuvel. Last Saturday we went to Fred. 

Fred's interior. This was exactly the view we had! :-)

We had three beautiful courses. 

Starters:

- Creamy minced veal with gherkins and capers, a crispy sesame wafer, homemade pickles and langoustines lightly braised in olive oil served with basil & lime mayonnaise.

- Thin sliced Irish oxtail steak marinated in a dressing of vintage balsamic vinegar with homemade filet americain, crispy bacon parmesan cheese and horseradish.

Mains:

- Roasted sea bass with fried langoustine served with curry risotto and a langoustine crème

- Gently fried halibut served with a tartar of smoked Ijsselmeer Eel, beure blanc and beetroot

Desserts: I forgot!

One was a merengue with raspberries, poached rhubarb and a sorbet of yoghurt en lime. 

All was delicious!!
