The love for hospitality and culinary passion are the basis for Sophia. They want you to feel home with them, while your senses engage the adventure with everything you hear with them, see and especially taste. Because Sophia is above all a sensation of tastes. Enjoying together from small international dishes; 'Sharing Dining'. Culinary Director Ron Blaauw, chef Barry de Back and maitres Clair Bik and Evert Groot take care nothing of no short coming. Bar manager Wim Boereveen invites you to prolong your visit to Sophia and introduce you to the world of cocktails ... Promising words, but do they live up to their own standards ...
to be short ... they do ... look at the menu, that's enough. Try the 'Sophia' cocktail before, it's a big treat.

Amuse

Starters
Garden Pea puree with corn sorbet and a crouton with Pata Negra
Pan fried lobster with potato froth
In between
Soft boiled egg yolk with morel mushrooms and frothy truffle sauce
Souffléed zucchini flower with prawn filling
Main
Sautéed goose liver with rhubarb compote and red wine sauce
Pigeon breast with b'steeya stuffed with pigeon and chocolate sauce
After
Pistachio parfait with pineapple and vanilla syrup
Red currant, raspberry and lime gazpacho with egg white froth
These dishes are inspired by French Michelin starred chefs Jacques and Laurent Pourcel of the renowned restaurant "Le Jardin des Sens". They ask every now and than some chefs from other very well known restaurants and make a menu together with them.
The portions are perfect and at the end of diner you've had a great meal, terrific presentation and excellent taste. Menu Pourcel will set you back for almost € 70 per person (excluding drinks) but it's well worth it. Drinks are actually very well priced as well. A Bottle of water at a perfect price.
It's a Ron Blaauw 'creation' that's for sure ...
will come back ,,,
1 note though ... although the tea and espresso (& coffee of course) is being presented in these beautiful new doubled glassed glasses (really keeps it warm) the espresso was horrible ... such a shame after such a diner. Need to change, Senseo is even much better ....
