Really majestic and smart too. First this is beautiful everywhere: gardens, building, interior, even the parking with storks.

Pork ribs with herbed potato purée was fantastic. Tagliatelle had rucola in it which gave it a lively, pungent flavour. It's worth the hour and a half trip to simply fine...
