Hi Steemians. Thursday i visited Knokke again and i had diner in this funky grill restaurant called “Brasa”.
Brasa is the second restaurant of the guys behind “Cuinnes 33” which is a Michelin star restaurant in Knokke also.
Brasa is the spanish word for grill, so obviously that is their specialty.
I really liked the design of the restaurant. Industrial look but cosy and an open kitchen.
Specialty is dry aged meat prepared on one of their grills. So they have a Josper, which is a closed circuit charcoal grill.
And they also have an open grill and a spit roaster. You can see pineapples on the spit roaster in the back.😋
Okay, let’s get started. A good Whiskey sour to begin with. Accompanied with some great appetizers.
I went for the boneless ribs and “preskop” croquets. I don’t know the exact English translation of “preskop” but it is something like head meat.😄
Amazingly tender ribs with a sweet glaze.
And another cocktail before i start working on my main course.😉 This time a “horses neck”, Bourbon with Gingerale and bitters.
And there she is, my nice dry aged Simmenthal entrecote. Which i ordered with Chimichurri, and Canarian potatoes.
Chimichurri is an Argentinian pesto, this is my recipe:

A little different then this one but also very good.
And Canarian potatoes are small potatoes in their peel, cooked in a lot of salt and then shortly placed under the grill.👌
Then i also had some roasted onions with alioli made of bone marrow.
I really liked this steak and the sides, i love it when it’s a bit different. Having the same “usual” sides all the time is getting boring after a while. So for me this really worked.👍
Then of course i had to finish with some of that spit roasted pineapple. Also a winner, served with some black rum “home made” ice cream.
So definitely a restaurant that i will visit again.
👍👍👍
Thanks for reading guys,
Keep it juicy!
