A Taste of What We Create

Sample Menusbuilt for one table

Real dishes from real evenings across the mountains — chalet dinners, estate weddings, seven-course tastings. None of them will be repeated. Yours begins on a blank page, designed around your guests and the night you’re creating.

No Such Thing As Off-Menu

Any cuisine. Any diet. Any situation.

The menus above were built from scratch — and so is everything we cook. There is no fixed list to choose from and no request too specific. If you can imagine it for your table, Chef Steve can build it.

A Note On These Menus

These are examples. Yours is different.

Every menu here was built for one specific evening — these guests, this season, this occasion. We don’t reuse them. When you book, Chef Steve starts from a blank page and designs around you. Consider these proof of what’s possible, never a list to order from.
