Dutch term or phrase: Gastronomisch eten
This is from a menu, and the full sentence reads: "Je kan natuurlijk ook gastronomisch komen eten".

I think I know what this means, and there again I'm not quite sure. I was thinking along the lines of "gastronomic delights"...

Any Epicurians out there with suggestions?

(Gone for PRO here, but probably falls between non-pro /pro)

Explanation:
See Raymond Blanc's site for Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, 2 Michelin stars. To quote from one press artile: "Le Manoir's commitment to gourmet food..." Your restaurant may not have any stars, but gourmet food is what it's promoting alongside (the chips?)

excellent wine and dine facility


Explanation:
Perhaps: 'Of course, the venue/place/hotel/restaurant [depending on wider context] also offers an excellent wine and dine facility'

or:

'Of course, diners can also experience a wide range of gastronomic treats/delights as well.'

disagree  Benno Groeneveld: I wouldn't use wine and dine, too many associations with 'seduction', and 'flat floor' (platvoers) language

neutral  DutchConnection: Gastronomical not used in UK I guess because of its unfortunate association with an astronomical dinner; it's practically only used on translated foreign sites that also have life [sic] music.
