High quality cooking
Concept Vegan fine dining with consistently local ingredients; a surprise menu. Culinary Style Ricky Saward's approach to vegan cuisine is highly individual; all ingredients come exclusively from the region and are grown on-site. Through elaborate techniques, these yield highly aesthetic, flavor-packed creations that continually astonish: Celery baked in a dough made from immature grain stalks, accompanied by reduced sauerkraut juice with surprising caramel notes and sweet lupin oil reminiscent of coffee. Or steamed beetroot in a "puff pastry parcel", wrapped in steamed pointed cabbage leaves and parsley root cream alongside mushrooms transformed into a reimagined duxelles, finished with a hollandaise-style sauce based on burnt onions. Wine Beverage pairings with three options each, one of which is non-alcoholic. Atmosphere Unique ambiance in the narrowest building in the city, with several tables offering views of the Main River. Atmospheric bar on the ground floor, plus a small rooftop terrace. Verdict A unique all-around experience, equally captivating for omnivores.
