Greeting

When greetings from the kitchen arrive (before the tasting menu), the table is full: light chickpea spread (humus), mustard seeds and homemade pickled olives; beetroot from “our farm” with roasted hazelnuts and horseradish; pakora (fried vegetables with chickpea flour) and raita sauce (yogurt sauce with cucumber); two types of fresh, homemade bread, white and with onion.

Cold smoked Goričar trout, pickled shallots (from last year), pickled spring radish, yogurt foam, olive oil, mustard seeds, microgreens.

Chana Chaat

Chana Chaat, a popular Indian snack: chickpeas, tomatoes, vegetables, coriander, spices and mint sauce. A great way to start learning about the diverse Indian spices and spiciness, without scaring off caution, but still stimulating curiosity.

Dal makhani

Dal makhani, buttery lentils (in translation) from Punjab, made from whole black lentils (urad dal) and red kidney beans, slowly cooked and served in a rich, creamy sauce made from butter and cream; with steamed rice and Indian, unleavened, chapati (flatbread).
