A deep mushroom love affair opened the opportunity for reconnection and re-Matriation of living roots and culture. We’re remembering and honoring the diaspora and ancestral lands through a decolonial lens, and a mycophilic heart. Fungi bring us closer to nature, which helps us return to a network of sacred lifeways. Together we taste our way through Olga Tzogas’ visual + culinary reflection of the mushroom culture + Earth based traditions of the southern Balkans and its so-called borderlands.

Presentation with a three course tasting menu-
The menu consists of traditional and inspired mezedakia found in taverns, homes and spirit rooms of the Balkans and beyond. Ingredients sourced fresh and whole, flavors simple and complex.

You will leave full and happy :)

BYOB - Suggested Pairing with Tsipouro/Raki/Pisco/Grappa or Dry White Wines are suggested
