tasting menus
Multicourse culinary journey
A tasting menu is a multicourse meal where the chef selects a sequence of small dishes showcasing technique and ingredients.
Common at upscale restaurants, tasting menus typically run five to fifteen courses, often paired with wines.
The format gives chefs creative control while offering diners a curated experience: We did the twelve-course tasting menu with wine pairings.
