When I was two months pregnant, eating felt like an Olympic sport \u2014 one I was losing, badly. I couldn\u2019t keep anything down, and my cravings made no sense. Food became frustrating instead of comforting.<\/p>\n
Then one Saturday night, my partner and I went out for a spontaneous date night at Del Forno Bromhof, and that\u2019s when everything changed.<\/p>\n
I still remember scanning the menu and thinking, \u201cLet me try something bold for once.\u201d I ordered the Beef Trinchado, not expecting much \u2014 but that first bite? Life-changing.<\/p>\n
The meat was incredibly tender, swimming in a rich, garlicky, spicy sauce that somehow didn\u2019t overwhelm my sensitive pregnancy palate. It was flavourful without being too much, hearty without being heavy \u2014 exactly what my body didn\u2019t know it needed.<\/p>\n
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, \u201cI think we\u2019re coming here every weekend.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since then, Del Forno\u2019s 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 \u2014 even while growing a tiny human inside me.<\/p>\n
While we went on a Saturday, I\u2019ve 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\u2019re planning a midweek spoil.<\/p>\n
But whether you go on a Wednesday or a Saturday, trust me \u2014 order the Beef Trinchado. You might just fall in love (again).<\/p>\n
