Our final lunch in Colone, at maiBeck, on the river near the Dom.
Bread with lightly salted butter.
Octopus, pumpkins, figs and dessicated (whisper it) corn.
Ravioli with potato, rabbit, chantarelle mushrooms.
Fish which was like sea bass, with mussels, celery, tomatoes.
Pear and parsley sorbet, stewed pear, an oat sponge, pickled zucchini (that's what they called it) - or was that the previous dish?
Mrs K's pork belly. The "crackling" was sprinkled on top like crumble. I was too full by this point to try any, which is remarkable. She finished it all, also remarkable.
Tiramisu for her dessert. Excellent, I hear.
We had a glass of sparkling German wine each, a rose and a white, and I had a glass of dry white local wine during the meal, all very good, reasonably priced.
maiBeck has a Michelin star, and I don't have a great deal of experience with such places. I don't always enjoy them, but I very much enjoyed this.
