Beefsteak Tatare
I headed to the Bederhof for lunch. We decided to go for the Beefsteak Tatare. It echoed what I had heard from other people it was okay at best. We ordered the meat at a medium level of spiciness, it wasn’t spicy at all. This is something which is acceptable. How many times have you asked for hot, and the cook was one of those Scorville junkies and you got scorching ? I added some spiciness but it didn’t turn the tatare into something which wowed me. A really bad decision was that instead of toast, it was accompanied by pommes allumettes. These were oily and lacking crunch, especially and it wasn’t a good choice in pairing it with the tatare.
BTW – this food writer sees things a bit differently. But he is one of the worst kind, his face is always featured prominently on the same page (sometimes even the same photograph) as the owners and he is always positive in his reviews.
