This is an old post from my previous blog, but I think it fits right in :) I wrote this post in January of this year.
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.

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!!
