Friday 3rd May 2024: The Taster Menu From the Chef's Table Restaurant
Friday 3rd May 2024: A View From the Chef's Table
I mentioned in an earlier post that there is a small restaurant that seats 24 in the stern of the AmaVenita as shown in the Photo, called the Chef's Table. The chefs aboard take it in turns to design and prepare a taster menu for a week at a time. Although Lesley, Bob and I had eaten here on the first night of the cruise the menu had changed since then and so we decided to enjoy this experience once more.
This time I can show you the full menu. I have found a way of uploading a photo to a post to make it large enough to read. I will, therefore, post the Taster Menu on a separate post.
What I really wanted to share with you is some views of the final two 24.7m deep locks from this restaurant.
The first photo is taken at the Eckersmuehlen Locks looking back over the top of the lower level raised gates at the canal beyond from which we had just risen 25m!
The last two photos are taken at the Hipolstein Locks abut an hour later. Apologies for the reflection but it was getting dark but I think it adds a bit of animation to the photo.
I will close this post and the Blog with a final photo as we cruised away from the Hipolstein Locks.
I hope you have enjoyed reading about my travels as much as I have enjoyed writing about this river cruise.
I leave on the 28th June 2024 to join another Silversea Expedition cruise to Greenland and Canada via the first part of the North West passage ending at Churchill on the Hudson's Bay so I will be inviting you to join me for another Blog! So until then Au Revoir!
