Visiting an amazing small Spanish restaurant with Bianca on Sunday. A perfect way to end the weekend.
Every time I meet my friends that have kids of their own they say I need to enjoy simple thing now that I still can.
And with simple things they actually mean simple things. Things like leaving your house and locking it without thinking about anything else.
Leaving your house is an enormous endeavour once kids become involved. Whether they stay or come with.
It's just never simple and easy.
I can see that with my own sister. Just visiting me requires filling the booth of the car to the brim with stuff for Sam every single time or she has to make arrangement with a babysitter.
Bianca likes to like find and visit simple restaurants with me to have dinner on Sunday. This time she found a small Spanish restaurant in Rotterdam.
We left the house 5 minutes later without thinking about anything else. It truly is something to enjoy while it's still possible :)
On our way to the restaurant we came across this tower. It's called the Euromast. It's very famous in Rotterdam. When Bianca and I were still dating I once took her to the top. The view on top is magnificent.
The restaurant was really small. The weather was great so we could sit outside.
We both ordered a beer and we also got free tap water in a bottle. Very rare in the Netherlands. Usually you have to pay for it.
We ordered the menu of the chef for 2. Basically a surprise menu. I always like it because then I don't have to think about what to order. I just assume the chef knows what he or she is doing. The food was awesome. These are picture of the starter, lol, starter! could have been the whole meal. The soup is cold and had vodka in it. Bianca didn't like it. Poor me now I had to drink two.
The main course. Fish, meat, mussels, a beautiful salad and fries. Everything perfectly cooked and seasoned! What a place!
And desert. Bianca had a Crème brûlée Spanish style while I had white chocolate cake with Mango.
We had such a fantastic and relaxing evening tonight. A perfect end to a great weekend.

It is always best to take advantage of what you have now. We have already witnessed this as we grow up but as we do mature and increase in age it seems like the hardships keep building up but it all ends with the serenity of bringing another being into this world despite how bothersome or tiring they may be haha
I don't know what my stand is at the moment as I would be happy to have one but with it comes all the endeavours of taking care and looking after them. I don't think I would be up for the job (at the moment) as I can't get my own life sorted, let alone one of a young child.
I have no idea how my parents were able to cope with me as I child. Maybe because I was apparently a human vacuum cleaner and I would suck up anything from the floor. Now thinking of it that is pretty morbid and disturbing but I never got that sick when I was younger (somehow)
I guess it is good to have these days out and have a little fun before it all comes to an abrupt end. The restaurant does look tiny. Was there any room on the inside since it doesn't look like it could house a lot of people haha
All the food looks absolutely delicious as you would expect from a Spanish restaurant with their beautiful cuisine. However, despite how tasty everything looks the main thing that gets my tummy rumbling is the Creme Brulee. It looks ridiculously soft, creamy and delicious, I want to have it now haha
I'm glad that you had a great weekend @exyle and hopefully the weekday can be better! :)
The food from the chef's menu looks really good and delicious. I definitely agree with enjoying time while there's still no kids yet. I don't have any of my own yet but my sister and my brother in law always have to think about their kids first even when it's something as simple as going to a grocery store.
Excellent trip @Exyle, I'm glad that you had a good rest and ate, the excellent menu of this restaurant is impressive, mussels, meat, fish and and cake with mango. Your weekend was a success :)
A fantastic success. Steemfat start up again though next week.
do you like the San Mig? It's a beer from my country - the Philippines
ik wil nu naar bed en zag dit
hongeeerig~~~
Wow, although this restaurant looks small but I see the food here is really good, amazing. Simple life can also be happy.
It looks like you really had fun. The food looks delicious. How can i get some?😁😁
Looks like a great way to end the week! And totally right-- enjoy the simple things while you can; it's not that life stops being enjoyable with kids (we raised 3), it's just that a trip around the corner is like preparing for a South Pole expedition!
LOL! That made me smile.
Lol now this is one of my favorite post of yours. You will ask why ?
Vodka was planned by the chef!
seems this weekend was nice, first birthday of friend and some party , then restaurant with bianca, i like your weight loss programm :) its good to relax at weekends.
Someone told me it's called finding balance :)
It's all about the balance!!! (There's no point to dieting if you don't get to live a little.)
Seeing the smile on Bianca's face while you both ate excellent food likely helped you lose an additional 500 calories. :-)
That was a nice evening! I understand what your friends say about leaving the house with no worries. But, remember, having children is also an adventure and a lifelong adventure. It'a new world you enter, tiring sometimes, but also satisfying.
I have only one question , why san miguel , why ? So much tasty beer in netherlands :)
Dunno. I ordered beer. This arrived :)
