I went to Taverne Gaspar during the Happening Gourmand back in January. I understand it might not be the best moment to judge a restaurant as the menu is fixed and the clientèle increases significantly because of the low price for a fixed menu but still, it is also their opportunity to shine and to gain loyal customers.
First off, I must say this restaurant makes itself very discreet. We literally passed in front of it three times before noticing it! As you go in, the walls are in brick and the feeling you get of the place is more of a relaxed pub for a happy hour after a long day at work. As for food, there was some interesting choices! I chose the onion soup with bone marrow; the soup itself was very sweet and they were not too generous on the bone marrow, only a small bit on the top of the cheese. Then I went ahead with the Tavern burger with manchego cheese, pork belly and onion rings. The pork belly was much more like a slice of bacon and again they are not very generous in portion. The burger was small and they included four onion rings. I have to say that although there was not a lot of them, the rings were crispy and flavorful. Finally, a dark chocolate flan was included in the menu along with creme anglaise. A flan in my dictionary is a custard-like dessert. It seems that according to them, it was a brownie! The brownie itself was powdery and not too visually appealing.
Again, I will give them a second chance as I went during an event and they have not been opened for that long. The service on the other hand was absolutely flawless!
