Passion fruit, yogurt, dark chocolate

I think they make the names simpler as the dishes become more technically complex. This was a passionfruit yogurt surrounded by passionfruit gel, topped with a thin chocolate layer, then passionfruit ice cream with a gel hat on top of that. Really nice textures (though I think I preferred the other dessert).

lemon posset, blueberries, lemon espuna

A lemon pudding at the base, with a layer of reduced blueberries mixed with blueberry foam in the middle (the foam added a really nice texture and intense flavor), topped with a lemon cream and finally a thin blueberry sugar glaze.

main course: pithivier, seasonal vegetables, sauce soubise

This was a strudeul made with english winter/fall vegetables and covered in puff pastry. Root vegetables on the side. Seems simple, but really nicely done with all of the vegetables cooked well and playing together nicely.

optional cheese course

We picked 4, but wanted them all. We got one cheese course to share among the 4 of us, it was a really nice break between the meal and dessert.

Smoked roscoff onion, pearl barley, burnt onion consomme and vacherin

The onion was cored and filled with a pearl barley risotto. The consomme was poured around it and added a good smoky flavor. The vacherin is the cheese on top, and I believe it was frozen before grating.

Crispy hen's egg, Jeruselum artichoke, autumn truffle and wood sorrel

The egg was soft and runny inside and exploded out onto the soup. Good, went nicely with the farmhouse bread. Nice flavors, but not as complex as other dishes.

beetroot baked on open coals, quinoa, goat's cheese, mizuna

The beets were baked for a long time in a smoky fire. The beets were brought out to the table from the fire, cut in half, the center was cored and put onto the plate. The rest of the beet was too intense and given to the pigs. The goat's cheese was frozen in liquid nitrogen (that is what the vapors are coming from). There was a beet reduction on top. This was my favorite dish, I loved the mix of the goat cheese foam and smoky beets.

celery, goat's cheese, horseradish

I loved this whole dish, but especially the horse radish ice cream. The celery is a foam with watercress on it. The goat's cheese is in the tube, which I think was made from beets.

starter

cauliflower and cheese (I think) in a lightly fried wrapper, the inside was soft and exploded as you bit into it. In the background are quinoa crackers with a fun topping.

Truffle Eclairs and some Lemon crisps. The Lemon ones had a soft filling that exploded in your mouth as you bit into them. The eclairs were awesome too.
