Gastronomisch eten

Cooking / Culinary
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)

gourmet food
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?)

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

: 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.
