A definite 5 star experience for me.
What a skillful and innovative chef. Dishes were well thought out and really worked, modern and innovative cooking.
The restaurant itself is located in the pretty narrow streets of the old town just off a small square. A fairly small space inside with more tables outside than in on a warm evening.
We were treated to a starter of lightly smoked fish with fried quails eggs and green herbs. Light, fresh and interesting flavours that worked together. Another starter consisted of asparagus thinly sliced into 'tagliatelle' with cockles and aromatic oil.
Our selection of fish courses consisted of lobster, poached and roasted with celery and I think a celeriac puree with vanilla. The combination was sublime.
My partner's fish choice was cod with peas and asparagus and a shellfish emulsion. Simple, delicate and delicious.
A highlight was guinea fowl and stuffed fennel. So simple but prepared with excellent ingredients and perfectly crafted.
Finally a pretty rhubarb desert presented several ways (stewed, sorbet and poached with a light biscuit top).
If I am in the area again, Aromatik will be a destination I will definitely want to come back to. read more
