Yesterday, I tried the Bistro du Soleil's new menu. It offered two different menu options. The first menu option costs € 14 and it includes a starter, a main and a cold drink. You can start with a tomato salad or a vegetable soup, and the mains are a ham sandwich or a cheese omelette. I chose the second menu at € 23, because, on top of the starter and the main, there were two delicious options for (the) dessert and a glass of wine or a hot drink. I had a fantastic crème brûlée with a glass of white wine. Yummy!

Clever stuff happening!
