A traditionally grilled 'Txistorraof' or a 'Young pigeon Anjou with potato mousseline and black truffle'. Is your mouth watering yet? In LXRY List 2023 you will be introduced to acclaimed restaurants, innovative cuisines and sublime flavors.
27e on the list of The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2022 and has had three stars continuously since 2005. Hof van Cleve in Kruishoutem, Belgium, stands for traditional craftsmanship that continues to reach the highest level. “Every day I challenge myself and others to be better than yesterday, to inspire and to look at the world with curiosity. Life is beautiful, let's taste it together.” This is what chef Peter Goossens says. Texture, color and balance: every detail has been thought about and you can taste it. Whether you take 'young pigeon Anjou with potato mousseline and black truffle' or 'grilled turbot with lobster béarnaise and bouillabaisse puree'. Furthermore, the interior, from unique furniture pieces to glassware and table linens, reflects the care and refinement of the kitchen. In Hof van Cleve you are taken into a total experience.
If you reserve a table in Manhatta you will get one side dish a breathtaking view of Lower Manhattan. The restaurant is located on the 60th floor at 28 Liberty Street, within walking distance of Wall Street. While you enjoy dishes such as 'Grilled lobster with black garlic' and 'Blue crab and caviar', you will continue to be amazed by the fantastic view.
In addition to branches in cities such as Porto, London and Valencia, Sagardi also has a restaurant in Amsterdam. With a pincho bar on the Spuistraat side and the restaurant on the Singel side. Authentic dishes from the Basque Country are served there, made from ingredients specially flown in from Spain. Think of starters such as traditionally grilled 'Txistorra' (Basque sausage) from Orio and grilled 'morcilla' (blood sausage) from Biscay. And then the artisanal sourdough bread after a 48-hour fermentation... You don't know what you taste! The same applies to the meat: after it has matured in special cabinets, it is put on the grill in large chunks. But Sagardi is not only a must for carnivores. When I ate there, we were surprised by chef Iñaki López de Viñaspre. Dinner consisted mainly of dishes with vegetables and wild fish, also from the grill. An absolute must order: the fresh hand-picked 'piquillo' peppers, grilled over a wood fire.
