Soren K is located on the ground floor in the Black Diamond, the spectacular extension to the Royal Library, overlooking the canals. It's the perfect place to enjoy some wonderful food.
Firstly, a complimentary course of sliced beetroot topped with a smoked soft cheese, herbs, tomatoes and crisp breads. Dr H's included seasonal local fish.

For entree I chose the stinging nettle soup with asparagus and a poached egg. The dish was served initially as a poached egg sitting on a mound of 'mash' which I assume at least contained asparagus, due to the green colour but perhaps some other vegetable. The bowl was beautifully decorated with thinly shaved strips of asparagus. The waiter took the jug off the serving tray and poured the hot nettle soup into the bowl. It was so delicious - the best soup I think I can remember eating!
Dr H's entree was a type of ham served with 3 types of melon [prepared in a way we unfortunately cannot describe]. Dr H said the melon was like nothing he had tasted - looked like it had been macerated/candied yet tasted perfectly ripe and fresh. A selection of leaves completed the dish.
My main course was a dish of vegetables and was much more exciting than you might imagine. At the centre was a wedge of young cabbage which was surrounded by pieces of cauliflower, mushrooms and herbs - all finished in a light creamy sauce. It was cooked just how I like it and was very enjoyable.

Our shared dessert was a vanilla panacotta covered with a jellied strawberry consomme, fresh strawberries and a strawberry sorbet. Flavoursome and very refreshing - perfect for the hot weather.
loving your new blog look! Soren K looks gorgeous!
