Seasonal menu with duck at Lambic
Chef Semyon Solomein presents a new special Lambic menu! Here you will find 5 duck dishes in different cooking techniques and styles. We start our acquaintance with duck riet, which we serve with pickled daikon, cherry marmalade and ciabatta. Next, we take an olivier with smoked duck, made with roasted vegetables with homemade dressing. Taco in crispy tortilla with Peking duck and hoisin sauce will be an excellent appetizer, which is convenient to «share» for the whole company. We will warm up with fragrant sesame ramen with duck breast, pickled egg and spicy chili oil. And for hot dish we’ll choose stewed duck leg confit with polenta and spinach. For dessert, try the coconut mochi with mango-mandarin sauce, a classic Japanese dessert made from rice dough and topped with creamy ice cream. For a perfect match to the dishes, we recommend specially invented drinks from bar manager Diana Dvoretskaya: — Mr. Scrooge (peated whiskey/campari/red vermouth) — Beijing Vacation (bourbon / cherry / herbal liqueur) — Apricot Flight (vodka / apricot / almond / lemon) — Lingonberry Splash (gin / lingonberry / lemon / bitters) — Hunter’s Instinct (rum / herbal tea / lingonberry / cinnamon / bitter)

The new beer atlas is now at Lambic!
We’ve got another Beer Atlas update! On tap, sample some new products: BORNEM DUBBEL — A velvety dark brown colored beer with hints of red Bordeaux. On the label of all Bornem beers there is also a special sign «Belgian abbey beer» in the form of a glass stylized under the window of a monastery cell. The presence of this symbol on the label indicates that this type of beer is indeed produced according to monastic recipes. EGGENBERG WEISSE is a classic Weissbier from one of the oldest breweries in Europe. The Eggenberg brewery is located in Salzburg, in the Austrian Alps, on the banks of the Alm River, which is the source of the water used in beer production. GRISETTE BLANCHE BIO is a very contrasting, refreshing Belgian whitbier. Orange zest and spicy coriander, which are added during the brewing process, add a special charm and piquancy to the beer. Grizette Blanche Bio beer is certified as environmentally friendly. The excellent quality of this beer has been recognized with numerous awards. BREWMASTER PREMIUM IPA — This IPA has a grapefruit aroma with notes of passion fruit, pine and citrus. Being just packed with hops, it has a pleasant bitter aftertaste. This bright IPA is different from the others — you will remember it as an ale with a rich flavor and incredible aroma that takes you on a tropical journey! STRAFFE HENDRIK QUADRUPEL is a rich and intense dark, top-fermented, quadrupel style beer brewed with a blend of specialty malts that give the beer a very dark color and a complex, full-bodied malt character. FOURCHETTE BLONDE is the first beer created with the participation of the best Belgian chefs. It can truly be called the most gastronomic ale that has ever existed. The recipe for this beer was developed by Van Steenberg brewers together with 11 top chefs at a specially organized event held in Ghent in 2017. The floral nuances in the taste and aroma are due to the use of wheat malt, which also brings light honey tones. From Bottled Beer Novelties: Specialties from Japanese brewery Kiuchi are back, such as -. — HITACHINO NEST YUZU LAGER (light lager with yuzu juice) — HITACHINO NEST WHITE ALE (whitbier brewed according to Belgian brewing canons with fresh orange juice, tart orange zest, spicy nutmeg and fragrant coriander). — HITACHINO NEST GINGER ALE (spicy and strong ginger ale with hops) — HITACHINO NEST DAI DAI ALE (IPA style ale with hops of special varieties Tardif de Bourgogne, Chinook and Exp431, juice and zest of very aromatic Fukure Mikan oranges).
