Had some fun meals over the weekend in Brussels
Friday evening at La Maree,a cosy seafood restaurant off Sr Catherine's place with a crab salad and a delicious 'Lotte au Poireaux' which they do so well, which was aptly accompanied by a young fruity and minerally Bourgogne blanc from Vincent Giradin.A good start to the weekend
lovely monkfish
This was followed the next day by a light lunch at Francois
with a bloc of foie de canard
followed by a variant style of boiled monkfish with creamy gravy
well complemented by an Alsace Pinot Gris which was fragrant yet had a dry finish from Trimbach,a good foil for both dishes.
Looking forward to more food and wine tasting over the next week in Europe
cheers

Looks like a couple of great meals.
Brussels is a great place to visit. A little gray for a large part of the year but from your pictures it looks like the sun was out. Vincent Giradin lovely white. I am pretty sure i have some in the cellar will have a look later. Best Bill
I found my Vincent Girardin
As usual i seem to have aged this one a little. 2001 Corton Charlemagne I found this 2007 Riesling that could be a good way to finish. ...
The moselle should be drinking well now and could be paired with food.
As for the corton -charlemagne,that's a big wine and nicely aged---should be interesting and a good foil for ?lobster best
