The combination of textures and flavours sounded delightful, and I couldn't wait to dive in. When the halloumi arrived, I was captivated by its presentation. The crispy layer contrasted beautifully with the glossy sesame and poppy seed coating. My first bite was an explosion of flavour with the salty notes of the halloumi paired perfectly with the sweetness of the honey, while the thyme added an earthy depth that elevated each mouthful. The sesame and poppy seeds offered a satisfying crunch.
For my main course, I chose Duck a l'Orange, a classic that, I was told, requires a delicate balancing act of flavours. When the plate arrived, the traditional presentation suited the restaurant's elegance perfectly. The duck breast was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and with a caramelized, slightly crispy exterior. The orange sauce was fragrant and tangy, complementing the duck without overpowering it. Each bite was a harmonious blend of rich and vibrant tastes.
