Chef’s Garden Table at Mar | Muntanya
The folks at Mar | Muntanya passed along this info: “Mar | Muntanya is offering a Chef’s Garden Table dinner experience every Saturday this summer helmed by Executive Chef and Salt Lake City local Tyson Peterson. The intimate supper is available as a one-table-per-week narrative culinary journey, with eight seats in total. Dishes such as snow-aged wagyu, charred cucumber gazpacho, and charcoal king crab are menu favorites on a rotating cadence, with Chef Tyson preparing, serving, and explaining every dish in a culinary exhibition.”
“Each week’s menu is created of the moment, with produce sourced from the executive chef’s restaurant garden as well as from the downtown Farmers’ Market and local greenhouse growers. Vegetables are the focus of the experience, but several dishes will be paired with ingredients from the ocean and the mountains, staying true to the ethos and namesake of the Spanish-inspired restaurant.”
“Supper is priced at $150/person for this exclusive experience for a maximum of eight weekly diners. Reservations can be made on Tock.”
