A museum cafe that knows how to match the art

With so much visual stimulation, we needed a bit of gustatory stimulation to match. The museum cafe fit the bill.


I got a roast beef sandwich with apple horseradish on pumpkin seed rye. First of all, it was amazingly gorgeous to look at. The bread triumphantly flaunted its seeds and its deliciousness. The roast beef was augmented by the horseradish and by surprise pieces of cauliflower and broccoli. And it all tasted really good, really fresh, and really well composed.


I followed that up with a cinnamon stick. This was so much better than I thought it would be. Not hard at all, it was soft and gooey, but not overly sweet. It definitely hit the mark on the cinnamon. Each bite was better than the last.


Minnie opted for a chicken curry sandwich. It was also excellent, with a really well made curry at the middle of the flavor. Oh, and some lovely slabs of bacon to accentuate the taste!


And for her dessert, a strawberry and chocolate torte with custard. This was strikingly beautiful, especially in the summer sun and with the sea behind. It was also delicious, with the fruit mixing with the cocoa mixing with the dairy superbly.

Yum, all around.
