Flew out to Copenhagen for work today so got up and had my usual bowl of Bran flakes before leaving to catch my flight from Heathrow.
Whilst on the plane I had a blueberry muffin, which was very poor, really crumbly and dry oh and also really expensive, so not a good choice by me.
We stayed in a really lovely hotel - I had two sinks in my bathrooms and white dressing gowns and clippers, any hotel which provides dressing gowns is a good hotel in my eyes.
Once we Had checked in we went for lunch in a bar connected to the hotel. I had seafood linguine which was absolutely delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly with an assortment of prawns, mussels and salmon in a sauce including cherry tomatoes and capers. A really tasty meal washed down with a glass of red wine - perfection.
In the evening we went to a really cool restaurant in a slightly run down part of town. It was a lovely rustic Spanish type restaurant with mismatched chairs and wooden tables. Some waitresses bought round some plates of salsify which had been cooked almost like chips and I think they had been deep-fried and then topped with cheese - they were absolutely delicious and I could have eaten a whole plate of them.
For starters we had smoked salmon with a kind of potato salad, which alongside potato also had carrot and peas but was really lovely.
For mains we had sirloin steak cooked extremely rare - beautiful - and served with sliced potatoes and a tomatoey almost rattitouey like sauce. Really delicious.
The crowning glory was the dessert, which was a huge piece of meringue, perfectly chewy inside with hazelnuts and pecans inside. It was topped with cream and chopped peaches, pears and a chocolate and hazelnut sauce. We were definitely spoilt.
