When I was two months pregnant, eating felt like an Olympic sport — one I was losing, badly. I couldn’t keep anything down, and my cravings made no sense. Food became frustrating instead of comforting.
Then one Saturday night, my partner and I went out for a spontaneous date night at Del Forno Bromhof, and that’s when everything changed.
I still remember scanning the menu and thinking, “Let me try something bold for once.” I ordered the Beef Trinchado, not expecting much — but that first bite? Life-changing.
The meat was incredibly tender, swimming in a rich, garlicky, spicy sauce that somehow didn’t overwhelm my sensitive pregnancy palate. It was flavourful without being too much, hearty without being heavy — exactly what my body didn’t know it needed.
For the first time in weeks, I finished a full plate of food and felt satisfied, not sick. I looked at my partner with the biggest smile and said, “I think we’re coming here every weekend.”
Since then, Del Forno’s Beef Trinchado has earned legendary status in our relationship. Even now, it brings back memories of that night when I finally felt like myself again — even while growing a tiny human inside me.
While we went on a Saturday, I’ve since discovered they also run an amazing Date Night Special on Wednesdays: a shared starter, two mains, dessert, and wine at a great price. Definitely something worth checking out if you’re planning a midweek spoil.
But whether you go on a Wednesday or a Saturday, trust me — order the Beef Trinchado. You might just fall in love (again).
