Via Jante - 2nd visit

We really enjoyed our visit last time so decided to go again :)  (Last visit)

However, I have to say I'm slightly disappointed. 

Before we went there, I have sent them the menu we had last time and said if possible, it would be great if they could try and serve us something different.  

However, they have paid no effort to accommodate at all ... so same old dishes.  

I'm not expecting them to plan a whole new menu for me.  However there are people who ordered 9 courses and with us ordering just 6 courses - can they not move the dishes around and serve us something different? 

It was very disappointing... 

The food was still very good but just not as exciting as the first time. 

We probably won't go there again in the near future.  

Ameijoa Bulhao pato 

It is not the normal type of razor clam.. cant remember exactly which breed it was... 

It tasted a bit jelly like. very light.  A nice start :)

we had this last time already. 

Amaranth with sorrel - with popcorn crumbs

I find it a bit dry this time round

Drumstick beans with goatscurd

Gordal olive soup

Their bread is always good - potato baguette + pancetta flat bread

Love their butter - very light and soft with some crunchy bits on top 

On the right - the butter was smoked  with crispy chicken skin on top

Potato with yeast

- this is our fav canape out of all 

we had something similar last time but this time it is served with a little piece of olive bread 

Langoustine with Brussel Sprouts and rye

- lovely langoustine with flavoured oil. 

Brussel sprout is still not very pleasant to eat even at Michelin star restaurant :p

bitter and doesnt add to the dish

Pike with roe and egg yolk

We love this dish.  Pike was cured - very soft and oily

Another one pleaseee

Brill with vanilla and daikon

- very light, with the fish perfectly cooked

couldn't really taste the vanilla

Salsify with spruce bark and black truffle

Iberico Presa with fermented squash

The pork tasted soooooo gooooood. Soft and juicy.  

Palette cleanser - Cucumber with reduced milk and lemon

We've had that last time too

very refreshing  

Milk - had that too 

It was very pleasant to eat.. just a bit boring to have the same thing again .. 

Brought my nice camera this time and took a few photos of the open kitchen/ interior

 

Chef busy cooking 

We asked for a table facing the open kitchen. 

It is always fun to watch how they carefully put the plate together
