I continue to struggle with the desire to keep all my 'jewels of life ' to myself or to share with friends and followers. First of all, I grant all those nice people with great companies many commercial customers and secondly, sharing is much more fun than keeping it to yourself.
So here it is: LAVINIA
Lavinia is the main character in Virgil's Roman mythology of Aeneis. The name carries the beautiful meaning 'purity'. It suits the special breakfast-brunch and lunch spot of the Hessing-Philipse couple, very well.
Except that this eatery is named after their daughter, it absolutely covers the whole experience of where their food and interior stands for.
This week the hard-working couple, also known for their very popular catering company 'Food Fantasies, opened the doors of their new establishment.
I tried their special three small pizzas; one with homemade salmon, wakame, wasabi and ginger. A second with mushrooms, arugula, pecorino and truffle oil. The third, with the most wonderful, exceptional combination of Caesar salad with anchovies and egg.
In addition, a very healthy beetroot juice.
Everything is nutritiously prepared and the ingredients come directly from the farmer.
The entire contents of the interior are additionally for sale. From the chairs you sit on to the dishes where you eat from, well stocked cupboards with delicious cooking ingredients, cookbooks, the wonderful chains of Jehanne de Biolly and bags from San Esteban, and so much more.
Always wanted to try detoxing ? They organize four weeks of detoxification, containing meetings, speakers and guidance.
On Sunday, they serve a real brunch buffet. And would you like to book Lavinia for exclusive use or catering offsite .... anything is possible!
