Bistro-de-Luxe?

I've had the pleasure of eating in what I belive is the best concept of future resturants. Acctually, it wasn't a resturant, it was a Bistro-de-Luxe. Focus was on quality and presentation, and it was good. I have been on Madklubben.

You had a very simple price-range; one course - 100DKK, two courses - 150, three - 200, four - 250 and 50 ekstra if you wanted the more expencive meals on the chart. I did, of course, try all four.

It was a cold and windy evening, so the only logical choice was the soup for starter. A sunroot soup, nice and creamy, with two-three slices of smoked eal, what seemed to be red-apple-vinegar, nuts and horseradish.

Not only was this a perfect dish to get warm again, but the presentation was smart and original. The soup came a-parte, so the other ingredents became thus more visual alone on the white porcelen.

My next course was piece of ox. A big piece. Period. Nothing else on the plate, but ox, sauce, and two small onions. Yes what was on the plate was delicious and more than enough food, but I did expect more than this. And this couse did cost 50kr more.

Third course was simply three nordic cheeses and some nuts in honey. Nothing extraordinary.

For dessert i was served a simple and good pear- and plumcompote with icecream. Simple and good, served with freshly brewed coffe.

Although the food could have been better, the idea of eating out for 100kr, de-luxe-style, is a good lovely thought. I had a nice evening, with good service and simple, rustic atmosphere. This is an evening I won't forget in a long time.

PS: The winesuggestion, a 2005 Ripasso, wasn't the perfect choise for me. A light and fruity wine for 500g ox just don't do the triks.
