Saturday, 28th/Sunday, 29th September 2019 – Vaals, Aachen, Ghent, Rotterdam, Home I started Saturday with a run that took in two countries, literally exercising my right to freedom of movement while I still had it. I ran the half mile to the Dutch/German border and then went about a mile into Germany before turning round…
Tag: Dinners
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 15, Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals
Friday, 27th September 2019 – Restaurant Hotel Kasteel Bloemendal, Vaals We had another deal where our dinner was included in our room rate, and so we didn’t need to worry too much about where we should go that evening. All we needed to do was get our act together and wander down to the ground…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 14, Gasthaus zum Raben, Horben
Thursday, 26th September 2019 – Raben, Horben On Thursday evening we set off on a white-knuckled drive from Glottertal, through Freiburg and up to the village of Horben, which seemed to involve rather more hairpin bends than I cared for, as well as fairly dramatic stretch when we first had to run on the tram…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 13, Schwarzenberg’s Traube, Glottertal
Wednesday, 25th September 2019 – Schwarzenberg’s Traube, Glottertal So it’s Wednesday and we discover that we can’t eat at the hotel because Wednesday is the day the kitchen is closed – I know, an odd concept in many countries where hotel kitchens never close, but many of these places are family run businesses and everyone…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 12, Hotel Schlossmühle, Glottertal
Tuesday, 24th September 2019 – Hotel Schlossmühle, Glottertal Arriving somewhat later than planned at the Hotel Schlossmühle, we decided our best bet would be to eat in the hotel once we had unpacked and got cleaned up. The hotel dates from the 12th century and has been a mill, a bakery and a variety of…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Day 9, Restaurant le 4, Mulhouse
Saturday, 21st September 2019 – Restaurant le 4, Mulhouse Having got ourselves organised, we headed out and managed to circle round the centre of Mulhouse at least once before finally being sucked into an underground car park which we hoped was near to our restaurant for the evening, the Restaurant le 4. I was pleased…
Food 2019 – Alsace and Baden, Days 6 and 7, Restaurant a l’Echevin, Colmar
Wednesday, 18th September/Thursday, 19th September 2019 – Restaurant a l’Echevin, Colmar As part of the deal at the Hostellerie Le Maréchal we had two night’s dinners included (not three, no matter what the young man on reception when we checked in insisted) and although you never know what you might get when it comes to…
Food 2019 – Umami, Day 4, Strasbourg
Monday, 16th September 2019 – Umami, Strasbourg I’d mis-recorded the booking for Tuesday not Monday and didn’t realise until quite late on Monday, so it was all a bit of a panic to get out of the door and back into town on the efficient and prompt tram system. We then managed to get off…
Food 2019 – Blo Deady at Weston Hall Supper Club, Weston
Friday, 19th July 2019 – Blo Deady After the disappointment of the previous supper club event (Aldo Zilli) it was good to be back at West Hall with no mention of the Daily Telegraph, and a chef on fine form in the kitchen. That chef was the slightly oddly named Blo Deady, a private chef…
Food 2019 – The Yeatman, Vila Nova de Gaia
Sunday, 14th July 2019 – The Yeatman, Vila Nova de Gaia Sunday night was the blow out meal of the weekend, a 2 Michelin-starred tasting menu in what might be the best hotel in the area, the Yeatman. First, however, we stopped off for a drink in Porto before getting a taxi across to Vila…
