Dish Inspiration

Below you will find a selection of dishes that our chef may prepare as part of the Chef's Menu.

These examples give an impression of our cooking style and the flavors you can expect.

The dishes shown cannot be ordered separately and are always served as part of the chef’s surprise menu.

Slow-braised lamb with North African spices

This dish reflects the soul of North African cuisine, where cooking is a ritual and flavors develop slowly through time and patience. The lamb is carefully selected and then simmered for hours at a low temperature, so that it retains its natural juiciness and achieves unparalleled tenderness. As the meat slow-cooks, the fibers absorb the deep aromas of a complex blend of spices including cumin, cinnamon, coriander, and soft earthy spices. These warm flavors are further deepened by the braising process, creating a rich sauce that completely envelops the dish. Finished with seasonal garnishes, this dish creates a harmonious balance of strength, finesse, and comfort — an experience that invites you to savor every bite.

Sea bass with citrus and herbs

Sea bass is known for its refined texture and delicate flavor, forming the perfect base for a dish centered on purity and balance.

Our sea bass is prepared with great care so that the light, almost velvety texture is fully preserved.

Herbs are added subtly to enhance the natural flavor without overpowering it.

A fresh touch of citrus brings clarity and contrast to the dish.

Couscous with roasted vegetables

This couscous is a tribute to the richness of vegetables and herbs from North African cuisine. The couscous is prepared light and fluffy and combined with slow-roasted seasonal vegetables, which develop their natural sweetness and deep flavor through roasting. Aromatic herbs and spices provide warmth and complexity, while fresh accents keep the dish balanced. The different textures—soft, crunchy, and lightly creamy—create a layered dining experience that is both nutritious and refined. This dish proves that plant-based cuisine can be not only light and healthy, but also intense, rich, and satisfying.

Chicken Tagine with preserved lemon

A classic of North African gastronomy, prepared with respect for tradition and taste. The chicken is slow-cooked, ensuring the meat remains exceptionally tender and the flavors penetrate deep into the dish. The herb blend forms a warm base, while the preserved lemon adds a distinctly fresh and slightly salty character that gives the dish tension and depth. During the stewing process, a rich, aromatic sauce develops that brings every element of the dish together. This tagine offers a perfect balance between comfort and refinement and invites you to a relaxed, long meal.

Chef's seasonal dessert

Het seizoensdessert van de chef vormt het slotstuk van uw culinaire ervaring bij LaSqala. Dit dessert wordt gecreëerd op basis van what the season has best to offer at that moment, where taste, texture, and presentation come together in a refined composition. Creamy elements are combined with fresh or crunchy accents, while subtle sweetness provides an elegant finish. Each dessert tells its own story and is carefully constructed so as not to be too heavy, but rather to leave a sense of satisfaction and balance. A worthy conclusion that reflects the essence of the menu.
