Ron Blaauw - Ouderkerk a/d Amstel
Ron Blaauw Restaurant - Kerkstraat 56 / 1191 JE Ouderkerk a/d Amstel
Tel : + 31 (0) 20 4961943 / Open from 12-14 and 18-22, Saturday no lunch, Closed on Sunday's.
It's located in the centre of beautiful Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. They serve lunch and dinner and offer their guests celebrated gastronomic delights. The seasonal menu is composed of the finest ingredients from regional suppliers. The service is elegant, competent and discrete (as they like to say it themselves) but also not stiff and that's a big plus! Terrace dining in the summer and free parking in front of the door. A beautiful place to go to, good atmosphere, always full and the food is really great, one of the best of the Netherlands in my humble opinion. So what did we have (sorry in Dutch)
Amuse :
Gefrituurde Hollandse garnalen uit Den Oever
Gefrituurd hoorntje met komkommer en wasabi eitjes
Tomaten coulie met Beemster kaas en een kaassoesje
Gepocheerd ei met zelfgemaakte 'cream cheese'
Deegballetje met Crab vulling
Zuurkool aardappelsoepje
Menu :
Laagjes rosbief van moerkalf, paddestoelen, kwartelei en merg
Bonbon Zeeuwse platte met passievruchtengelei
In Mojo gebakken gamba met krabmayonaise en chorizo
Zacht gegaarde gamba met tonijn met gepeperde zure room
Zacht gegaarde rogvleugel, haricots verts met gerookt buikspek en piccalilly
Steam van zalm, inktvisjes en een ravioli van Piere Robert met ansjovis
Geroosterde artisjokken met bloemkool en oude Beemster met piment Despelette
Spliterwtencreme met een gerookte aal op melba toast
VOC kruiden en ganzelever, kropsla en mint en Madera Tartin Ganzelever met truffel, Zilveruitjes kalfjus
Gebraden runderribstuk met augurk, knoflook aardappel
Canneloni geconfijte eendenbout, citroenblad caramel met schuim van wortel
Ossenhaas met een gevuld aardappeltje met tartaarsaus en krokante uitjes
Boerenkazen met vruchtenjam
Blauwschimmel met peer en amarenekersen
Tarte Tatin roomijs caramelsaus
Proeverij van Tiramisu
Yoghurt chocolade
accompied by : Clocher - Ron Blaauw / Chardonnay of Toques et Clochers - 2001
Since we took two different menu's we also had twice the opportunity to taste everything, it was heaven. The taste is devine and especially the details within the ingredients. The taste of the meat, fish and vegetables were pure and the sauces rich but blend in with the rest. I like the setup of the menu, a lot but in small portions ... I'll be back .... If you really appreciate your food this is the place to go to. Every dish so well balanced ... I can go on and on ...

Tapasbar El Mundo - Utrecht
Tapasbar El MundoVoorstraat 18,
3512 AN Utrecht
Tel : +31 (0) 30 2364543
What do you eat in Tapas bar ...
We ate :
Fuet Collar Jamon Serrano
Cangrejo con salsa de limon
Champiñones
Calamares (were not good ... don't take them)
Gambas Aioili ...
of course some wine and nice company, and that all after our get together at the Murphy's Pub to start the (Irish) St. Patricks day, like every year, march the 17th. The menu looks very appealing, the food is oke, not perfect and the service is not that good. They could have sold us so much more drinks if they just paid some more attention. Staff not at all friendly and looked like they don't cared. They must be doing it great though. It was packed during the entire evening, that must count for something.
The Aioili though (which looked like there was some avocado in it next to the garlic) was very good, we took an extra portion ... But Tapas is always a good opportunity to have some nice talks ... till we eat again!
