Our menu is thought up and brought to life on a weekly basis, formed completely by our chefs themselves.
Our weekly multi-course tasting menu explores bold flavors, re-imagines classics, and crafts unique creations.
Our food showcases the possibilities of plant-based cuisine and the future of food. Through age-old fermentation techniques, we honor tradition while reducing waste. By working with local suppliers and collaborators, we highlight regional talent and foster a community-driven, sustainable food system.

Whether it be a fine-dining transformation of a typical snackbar food like our “Patatje Oorlog” potato terrine, or just a crazy experiment of flavours and textures like a cabbage rendang, strawberry-sambal icecream and tapioca cracker, experimentation is our guide to culinary creation.We make space for ideas, supporting young chefs, their visions and serving them to the world.
