Sutra

25/25 - Outstanding ecotarian!

I visited Sutra for a lovely dinner last Valentine's Day. The style is conscientious, creative, and thoughtful. There are a few communal tables, but even the individual tables are rather close together - so there is a community feel, wherever you sit. Reservations required. Your reservation gets you a spot at a specific seating time, which also adds a nice touch for the feeling of eating with a group. There is a set menu each night, and the menu changes often. Outstanding selection of local and organic wines; they had 4 the night i ate there, including 2 biodynamic wines. They suggest pairings with the menu. There was also a non-alcoholic drinks flight, which i ordered and was absolutely amazing.

This was some of what i ate:
First course - Nettle lemongrass soup (Drink: Triple carrot juice, made by hand)
Second course - Shiso, coconut noodle and watercress salad
Third course - Celery root, yellow foot chantrelle, roast beet daikon, thyme

The quality of the food was outstanding, and the attention to detail was impressive. Highly recommended.

Yay, Sutra!
