Boutique Restaurant Bavette – Restaurant review

Nick Riethoven — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 17:30:00 +0000

Located in Maasland, which is near Rotterdam, you will find boutique restaurant Bavette. Restaurant Bavette is an unique restaurant who is happy to serve you the most beautiful pieces of meat.
This restaurant likes to work with local products and the best example of this is that they have their own cattle.

The restaurant is located in a renovated farm which gives the restaurant a modern but cozy atmosphere. We absolutely loved the sturdy look and since the plates of our neighbours looked amazing, we started to get very excited about the food.

We started of with an appetiser of smoked meat and bread with see salt butter. The smoked meat tasted absolutely delicious and therefore one of us ordered the smoked meat as an starter as well.
First, we ordered the Wagyu Rookvlees (smoked meat) with watermelonsalad, goatcheese, red onion and balsamico glaze and the Carpaccio with truffelmayonaise and Parmesan. Both of the dishes tasted incredible and they were the perfect size for a starter.

As a main course we decided to go for the
Bavette’s Burger and the Rossini Wagyu (tenderloin) with duck liver and red wine gravy. The Rossini Wagyu was definitely the best tenderloin that we ever tasted before and the burger was very tasty as well. Absolutely recommended!

Finally, we ordered a crème brulée and a cheese platter as our dessert. The cheese platter included goatcheese, old farm cheese and blue veined cheese. Personally, I liked the blue veined cheese the most but the other cheeses were very soft and creamy too. The crème brulée was beautifully decorated and the combination with the fruit and ice cream on top tasted wonderful.

We would like to thank Rianne for the excellent service that we received. It was definitely the best experience that we ever had in a restaurant! Since the food and the service of this restaurant are outstanding, we can only say that this restaurant is absolutely recommended. It is definitely a gem which you must visit.

Jopen – Ex-Girlfriend BA Ruby Port & Jamaican Rum – beer review

Nick Riethoven — Tue, 30 Jun 2020 16:30:00 +0000

This beer is brewed as cold as your ex-girlfriend’s heart. So stop whining and crawl out of the dark corner of your room. This beer will warm your heart.

This limited edition beer is aged on Ruby Port and Jamaican rum barrels. Therefore, the beer has aromas of red fruit and wood. These aromas are followed by warm notes of chocolate, red fruit, nuts and spiciness from the rum.

The beer has quite a high alcoholpercentage of 11,3%. Therefore, it is a relatively strong beer to drink. We absolutely enjoyed the smooth, but full taste of this beer.
The flavour of Port and Rum are also reflected very well in this beer. Therefore we rate this beer a 4/5.

An unique combination of juniperberries, rye malt, saison yeast and an aging on red wine barrels? Then we are talking about the Jopen Many-Faced GOT from brewery Jopen.

The name Many-Faced Got refers to the Many-Faced God from the television series Game of Thrones. The blocks on the label of this beer contains references to this series, such as the Drowned God, Old Gods and the
Stranger Seven.

This beer has a very complex and spicy character and the aging on red wine barrels gives an extra dimension to this beer. Moreover, the tones of wood from the barrels gives it an extra powerful taste experience. The beer also has quite a high alcoholpercentage of 10,5%.

We absolutely loved this beer! It has a strong and smooth body and we enjoyed the taste of red wine in this beer. This beer is definitely one of the best beers we drank before!
Therefore we rate this beer a 5/5.
