I started writing on this post a while ago as I wanted to share the amazing culinary experience we enjoyed in Nevis for our anniversary. Opening this post and continuing to write this article sent me instantly back to the beautiful settings of the 300 year old sugar mill where we were seated in a private dining room, only us two, surrounded by candle light and a magical atmosphere between the cut stonewalls. 

Let me start to introduce the entrance: a light asparagus panna cotta with a creamy parmesan espuma and tomato confit.

As asparagus probably is what Alex hates the most, he asked for the chef to make whatever else he could come up with. As this restaurant only serves a chef's tasting menu and no a la carte, we were excited to see what else could be created outside of the fixed menu. Alex got a beautiful melon and dried/smoked prosciutto ham concoction with a balsamic vinaigrette. I would have preferred this one too I must say. It was perfect.

We eat duck quite often, almost always when eating in a French restaurant there is either one of us who orders magrait de canard, but this duck breast was prepared in a, for us, new and exciting way. I have hard to explain the delightfulness of this maple leaf farm duck breast with young vegetables and fruit medley in a sweet spices juice, but it was simply out of this world. Neither the picture nor the description makes any justice to this masterpiece of a duck, it was truly a star and we kept talking about it from the minute we started devouring it until we fell asleep that night. The absolute highlight of the meal.

At this time we were quite full already but the white chocolate and strawberry verrine with crumble biscuit and vanilla cream was the perfect ending to the meal. Sweet and creamy in perfect combination without being too heavy. Must give this one a try at home and see if I can create something similar one day.

Chocolate and marmalade for the coffee. 

As Alex rarely drinks wine, I always end up ordering individual glasses when we're out dining. This time I was happily surprised to see the large selection of wines not only in full bottles but also in the small size, two and a half glass is exactly what is needed for a dinner from my point of view. A glorious Chateauneuf de Pape, Mont Redon from 2005 was my round, flavorful companion throughout this meal.
The service was consistently excellent and all of the waiters who served us through the night were very attentive.

We spent a few hours in that sugar mill eating our way through the night and as we had been out bike riding for almost the whole day before the dinner, nothing was more tempting after the dessert than this homey view and the most comfortable bed we've slept in for a long time. I don't think you can imagine how good we slept after a meal and a weekend like that.
