Weekend

The weekend was very laid back, with some yoga, jogging and plenty of eating...

For Saturday evening M had booked a table for us at a wonderful restaurant Switch, by Saint Katherine cathedral. Because last Saturday night dinner was a flop - we hadn't booked and our favorite Houtsipilou was full (like all other nice places we noticed) we ended up in a not so nice restaurant with not so nice food, this dinner felt sensational. We had three courses with the recommended wines and the food and service was impeccable. Will definitely return there after having made sure of making a reservation beforehand, the small restaurant was full and many couples were turned away at the door. No wonder since it was such a culinary experience.

On Sunday because of the beautiful spring weather, we went to eat "lunch" at Place Jourdain, consisting of a large cornet of frites and mayo and sauce andalouse. There is a friterie that has been at the square for 64 years and there is always a line for the fries. They have a deal with the bars on the square that you can enjoy your frites in their premises, so we ate ours in the sun on one of the terraces. Our dinner was then a steak and salad (since we already had the fries in our stomachs) which was served in our garage, where we sat with the door open and had our own private outdoor restaurant. The people walking by were quite amused.

Also the last of the Fazer's blue chocolate was consumed as well as vanilla ice cream and the first fresh strawberries of the year.  Yummy!
