Pictures from kitchen of Ikarus. Main figures: Dominique Crenn (the guest chef), Eckart Witzigmann (the patron of Ikarus, chef of the century), Martin Klein (the chef of Ikrarus).

And here is the poem in pictures:

Kir (the reinterpretation of Kir Royale, white chocolate skin filled with cider, topped with cassis)

Tuna – buckwheat – bell pepper – sesame

Caviar – banana – pecan nut

I found the banana too dominant and too sweet, otherwise a great combination!

Abalone – alga – bacon

With a special demonstration by chef Klein: how to open, clean and soften an abalone!

Scallop – fermented pineapple

Magnificent dish! Acidity of the finger lime makes it a very well balanced, very interesting dish, loved it!

Lobster – coconut

Also one of my favorites. A hint of Cayenne pepper makes it hot, lobster poached in coconut oil, the sauce is coconut milk and yogurt,

“Golden egg” – oysters – leek

And some bread crumbles on top to add a crispy texture.

Sepia – lardo ham – potato

Brilliant one again! The spaghetti shaped squid and the crispy ink squid potato chips.

Duck liver – heart of deer – beetroot

The soft duck liver unfortunately overwhelmed by the beet root and the red berries.

Pigeon – little turnip – kumquats

Wonderful pigeon breast, but the kumquat - filled with onion jam - was way too sweet.

Cheese tarte – Périgord truffle – thyme honey

Umami tsunami - a buckwheat tarte filled with caramelised onions and melted Brie de Meaux.

And my video about the shaving of the truffle:

Fennel yuzu granité – pickled rhubarb

Nice predessert, very acidic, very fresh!

Blackberry – sorrel – fir

Like a new nordic dessert: perfect balance, not too sweet, not too sour, with an ice cream like snow...
