Très bon

Yesterday we went to try out the restaurant Bon Bon, which had been recommended by my friends K and F, true food lovers and very good cooks.

We had incredibly fresh langoustines, cooked exactly enough

deer - very tasty and tender meat in a delicious sauce - with red cabbage and bacon, and alternating slices of black pudding, apple and red beetroot


three types of butter: plain salted, butter with seaweed and smoked butter


Some of us couldn't resist the cheese platter

and then our entire table got covered in desserts, that just kept coming:
a mango and lime affair, with a pistachio cracker

roast pineapple spread out at the bottom

we couldn't guess what was in the guimauve (marshmallow): it was Chartreuse verte, a French liquor
the moelleux and crème brûlée were delicious, I was told, but by then I had given up, much to the contentment of the men in our party
the third dish held grapefruit and a white cheese and basil mousse, very surprising

also surprising was the sorbet of kriek beer


Our verdict was unanimous: très bon.
