Il Ramo D'Oliva (Italian perfection in Woluwé Saint-Lambert)

Saturday night we had a delicious meal at Il Ramo D'Oliva for my mum's birthday. Guiseppe opened his small restaurant (only 8 seats) about 2 years ago with lots of sense for details. He decorated the place himself in a weird modern spacy interior. Fresh out of the oven bread with perfect olive oil, affordable wines and champagnes (38€, 50€), to die for sauces, nice presentation...  Can't think of anything bad to say about this place. There is only one menu (55€), changing every 3 weeks. It's was deliciously refined. Here's what we had :

A nice Italian champagne  to start

"Jambon" served on a little chauffe-plat, to enhance the aromas

Nice cutlery

First course : a hand cut beef filet tartar (mmm) topped with caviar and a slightly sautéed blue crayfish.

Second course : pane carasau (very thin bread with pecorino), duck magret and caramelized red onions with a mango coulis, mmmmm..... Could be an ultra refined version of the hamburger.

Main Course : Veal filet with carrots, beans & peas in a chicken stock and tuscan spices sauce, mmmm again!

Dessert (based on clementines) : airy clementine mousse, a clementine sorbet, fresh lemony clementines, a slightly salted cookie underneath and some pistachios on top, divine!

Got something to celebrate or a bit of cash left at the end of the month, go there :-)
