Friday's trek was a big hit and the bf loved his bday lunch. The drive was almost two hours and while it wasn't warm and sunny the lush country side was lovely driving.
We arrived a little before our 1 p.m. reso but it wasn't a big deal, because sadly, we were the only ones in the place and it remained that way the whole time we were there.
I had the following dishes:
Stinging Nettle and Potato soup
Pork Gyoza
Radish greens in dashi
Pork sausage
Panko whitefish
Speck wrapped trout
The speck wrapped trout was my far my fav dish. It was on top of the most velvety mound of sun choke puree I've ever had. I would have licked the plate but that might have been a bit much.
The dashi for the radish green was amazingly flavourful and the refreshing.
Well we enjoyed all of the dishes we had, I will say that in most instances, I could have used a wee bit more salt. That being said, I have low blood pressure and a love of maldon so I may be a hard person to please in this department!
On our way out we bought a loaf of wholewheat sourdough, some almond cookies (which the bf said tasted of Christmas) and a bottle of honey produced not far from the resto.
We plan on making the trek again for brunch sometime soon.
