Our table

Thirty-two seats and one menu.

We cook one menu each evening and we cook it for thirty-two people. That number is not modesty, it is arithmetic: it is the largest number of plates we can send out of this kitchen without any of them waiting under a lamp.

The menu turns over roughly every three weeks, and sooner if something stops being good. Whatever is best that week decides what we write down — not the other way round. If a dish is on the card in October it is because it earned its place in October.

The rooms are small and low-lit, the tables are close enough to be sociable and far enough apart to be private, and there is no music loud enough to talk over. Most evenings someone from the kitchen brings out at least one course themselves.

This week

Four plates we are glad about.

Written for this demonstration site. A real build would draw these from whatever the kitchen is actually cooking.

  1. I

    Scallops, brown butter, hazelnut

    Three of them, hard-seared, with a butter that has been taken further than is strictly comfortable, and toasted hazelnut for the noise.

  2. II

    Hand-rolled pici, garlic, aged pecorino

    Four ingredients and nowhere to hide. Rolled every afternoon; the pepper goes on at the pass, not before.

  3. III

    Lamb shoulder, roasted forty hours

    Cooked slowly the day before, pressed overnight, finished hard in the pan. Served with whatever root is best that week.

  4. IV

    Bitter chocolate, olive oil, sea salt

    The only dessert that has never come off the menu, mostly because taking it off caused an argument.

The rooms
