A perfect treat at the Four Seasons

I had the amazing opportunity to visit La Dame de Pic at the Four Seasons Hotel and it was exquisite. Service was delightful, food was incredibly tasty and the company was of course, enjoyable. We began with Gin & Tonics, as you do... mine was a Japanese floral number which I definitely recommend.

The first dish was a crab dish, made with mayonnaise on a blackcurrant & elderflower jelly.

Next came beautiful little pasta parcels made with courgettes, and I think with Savarin cheese inside. These were so tasty, I ate them so fast!

This Scottish salmon marinated in honey was so tender, almost melting in my mouth.

This evening was a good one, I fully recommend it. Intricate details make every dish simply perfect. Different wines accompanied every dish and by the time I finished eating, I was rather giddy and quite full. If ever you are in the area, please check out the Four Seasons.

It is definitely a meal to remember!

Amsterdam is a pretty interesting place; with a buzzing city centre that is fortunately not so busy that you cannot breathe. A place that surrounds the canal and thinly designed buildings that make you want to pop in and discover if they are bigger on the inside than they are outside. It is probably best you hire a bike, since that is the main method of transport and if you are short like me, settle for a “small person’s bike” which looks a lot like a child’s bike. Everyone is at least 6ft over there! Next morning, we hired bikes and set off in search of breakfast, the only requirement being coffee and eggs. We stumbled on this beautifully modern café, with wooden beamed ceilings and tables that almost hung from the ceiling. With our mouths wa...
