I figured to do one post about the meal at our current hotel, the Dam Restaurant, which has a Michelin Star. I will predicate this by saying the meal was exceptional, and if you ever find yourself in this part of the world, this restaurant is worthy of a side trip all on it’s own.
The first course was some chips on a little tree, that was served with fresh anchioves. Now I’m not a fan of anchoives, much like 99% of the population in the world, but these were damn good! Maybe everybody else is just doing it wrong? We also had some cheese balls covered in seeds, and a cracker of some type. Shit, I’ve been drinking wine ALL day, I can’t remember every detail!
Course #2 was Smoked Trout Tartar, with little dollops of cottage cheese, roe, and cumcumber sauce. Yum!
Course #3 was a super good Gnocchi with a creamy fish soup and bits of raw fish. Double yum!!
This was made to look like olives but had something else inside. I’m not entirely sure but I think it was white chocolate and some mixture of olive oil and something else? It’s not listed on their menu, so it must be an intermezzo course.
Course #4 was egg with cauliflower and truffles. We had this the night prior and it was just as excellent!
This shows how perfect the egg was.
Course #5 is the Rissoto with Prawns and Parsley Flower. We’re getting damn full at this point!
Course #6 was Baked Tuna in a Cuttlefish Crust. The tuna was cooked to perfection. Chef Uros really has his shit down to a science! Thanks to Eric Moore, aka Shaggy, for the photo. I guess I got lost and forgot what I was doing!
There was a Mojito dessert, that was basically a sorbet. Once again, credit to Shaggy for the photo.
Shaggy was sporting some extra cool socks!
Lastly there was some bits of chocolate. A huge menu, and these places leave you feeling quite full. Still, the restaurant is a must visit if you are in the northeastern part of Italy! Just getting to converse with Chef Uros and super waiter (he really should wear a cape) Alan is a treat all on it’s own!! Here is Peter singing his praises for our group.
The Chef as we are exiting the restaurant. Cool as a cucumber!
I got the Chef to do a strong stance in front of his sign. Even his father would be proud!
I can’t sing the praises for this restaurant highly enough. The service and food were impeccable! Thanks Chef Uros!
