As mentioned yesterday, I had a full day of meetings today. We went to a beautiful estate, Duin en Kruidberg, to talk about our work and possibilities for the future. The subject matter was very interesting, but more importantly (for here), the food was amazing.
We had a full meeting arrangement, which included snacks and refreshments, as well as lunch and dinner.
We started the day with coffee and some traditional Dutch cookies.
About an hour and a half into our meeting, they served us a sweet snack of a nut cake/cookie with caramel mousse and a piece of chocolate. Yumm!
Lunch was our next food-stop, which was a cream of zucchini soup followed by a buffet off all kinds of breads, cheeses, jams, jellies, fruit, salads, tortellini, fish, and a selection of water or juices. We were seated in a semi-private lunch area, which was nice.
After our lunch break we talked for about another hour and 15 minutes, until they brought our afternoon snack. I skipped it, as it had seafood, which I don’t eat. But it was a gazpacho with Dutch (tiny) shrimps.
Just before 4 the Ombudsman handed out our annual report, which I’d asked him to do. I’d gotten it fresh from the printer and thought it suitable to be presented there. After some nice words we we parted ways for about an hour. In small groups we went outside to walk around the National park. The sun was shining, so it was good to be outside.
Back from our walk we sat down for some drinks and around 6 we were called in for dinner.
Seated in a beautiful private dining room, we had our dinner. We were first served some fresh, warm bread and butter while the servers inquired who was vegetarian or had other special wishes regarding dinner.
The started was scallops with a mustard mayo and a couple drops of pesto and a miniature flan. As I’d stated my non-seafood-eating-ways, I was presented with rabbit 2 scallop sized slices of rabbit wrapped in bacon. I’d never eaten rabbit before (always had something against it), but tried it anyways and was delighted to find out it tastes just like chicken!
Before the main course we got some more of the wonderful warm bread.
The main course was lamb, beautifully cooked with a side of fennel, carrot cream and polenta, with a star anise based sauce. It was delicious!
Desert was a fairly large slice of dark chocolate brownie with pecans, covered with caramel mousse and caramel sauce and vanilla sherbet. The sherbet wasn’t my favorite, but the brownie was awesome. So were the chocolates that came with the coffee.
I’d heard wonderful things about this estate and restaurant, but it surpassed all my expectations. I would definitely love to go there again!!
Share the love!
