My first time to this French/Dutch restaurant. I heart that the Chef is Dutch so as being Dutch I was looking forward to some Dutch dishes.

The restaurant is quite small but very cosy.
The menu consists of 4 parts: small bites, starters, main and desert. We decided to take some small bites and starters to get the taste of the restaurant.

Number #1 Dutch bite are Bitterballen. As a Dutch I was not vey convinced about this dish: it did not have the typical Bitterballen taste, it was quite meaty (big chunks) and the mustard was quite thick and not sticky. In Holland you "dip" your Bitterball in the mustard but here I had to apply it with my knife.

Another typical dish are the Dutch shrimps. They are quite small but very taste. I did like the shrimps but the dish would be perfect if the typical dutch cocktail sause was part of it.

Out next dish was the aubergine- cheese dish. May be not typical Dutch but it was surprisingly tasty. The combination of the aubergine and cheese was a great choice of the chef.

The fries on the menu was highlighted as a chef recommendation. And I have to say that the potatoes used for these fries are one of the better quality: a bit sweet. Personally I like a bit crunchy fries, and these were made perfect. I was a bit disappointed by the mayonaise. Blend flavour and not the typical Dutch "friet sause" as I know.

Last we had the vanilla ice-cream with chocolate. they were out of vanilla so we took the raspberry. The combination was tasteful.
The ice-cream was on top of a Dutch waffel. This caused the waffel become stone hard and impossible to eat. A pitty because I love Dutch waffels. Waffels and ice-cream is just not the right combination!

Overall a nice dinner which cost us including 2 drinks and service fee HK$ 550.

Tot ziens!
