Prijzig, maar wát óntzettend lékker!! Sobere presentatie, cocktails in een eenvoudig wijnglas, simpel wit servies. Geen getut met druppeltjes, poedertjes en schuimpjes, maar alle focus op hele hoge kwaliteit ingrediënten, geweldige smaakcombinaties en perfecte bereiding. De sherry- en wijnpairings waren puur en spot on.
Absolute aanrader!

“In Syrian culture, we can’t make any journey without first planning the food. If you decide to go to the cinema, you plan what you’ll eat. If you plan to visit your mother, you know that you’re going to eat. There’s no going out without eating something.” -Imad AlarnabImad was a successful restaurateur in Damascus with three restaurants, plus several juice bars and cafes. In the war, Imad's restaurants were destroyed and he was forced to flee the country in search of safety for his family. Making his way from Lebanon through Europe, Imad shared his skills cooking for other refugees, up to 400 at a time, and found even in the most challenging times, his passion for food and bringing people together to celebrate life was strong.
