Question about a cheese course (JRE restaurant Austria)
Yesterday we had a 6 course menu that was underwhelming. (Of course we didn't expect a Michelin star experience - but for that money and different very good reviews we expected more than that.)
Especially the cheese course was questionable - but in such a unique way that I would like a second opinion.
The course was: "Comte & Tomme de Chevre / Traube (Grape)"
It was grated cheese + 2 thin slices of a different cheese + grape jam. The waiter just said: that's the cheese.
The taste was bland and uninteresting and the presentation was really outstanding in a negative way. (Sorry for the bad photo - but it wasn't really better in reality.)
We are no fine dining noobs but probably not that experienced like the average person here - so maybe we didn't get it and it's not that uncommon to have a cheese course like that?
6 course menu 132€ (+6€ cover)
Without cheese 118€
(No stars, but mentioned in the Michelin guide. 16/20 Gault Millau)
