For the Monday evening we have made a reservation at a Portuguese style restaurant http://www.girassol.nl/restaurant.html (only in Dutch, and some Portuguese) We have made an arrangement for a menu consisting of a choice of starters and for the main course you can choose from several main dishes. For the main dish they like to know your preference. The choice is from the following (you can find them on the menu page too (http://www.girassol.nl/menu.html): From the sea: - Bacalhau arBras (codfish based dish) - Espetada mista de Peixe (assortment of fish from the skewer) - Tamboril com Ameijoas na Cataplana (monkfish based dish) Meat: - Frango no churrasco com piri piri (chicken on charcoal, spicy) - Chanfana de Cabrito (goat based dish) - Espetado de carne àadeirense (meat from the skewer) - Or a vegetarian dish For the Tuesday evening the restaurant wil be French style http://www.hemelsemodder.nl/Default.aspx?id=8421 Here we arranged for the three course menu. You don't have to choose in advance, but you can have a look already at the menu at the link above. Both dinners will start at 8 pm. For Monday the price will be around EUR 33 and for Tuesday the price will be EUR 29,50 (exclusive of drinks). Both restaurants are easily reachable with public transport (Hemelse Modder is even on walking distance from the hotel).
