Malte is a master of his craft, with a passion for experimenting with different flavours and ingredients. Malte’s favourite dish on the menu is the Miso Parsnip, Carrot Risotto, Artichoke Granola, and Candy Carrot. He loves that this dish showcases Ireland’s local vegetables and packs a real flavour punch. Inspired by the zero waste movement Malte and the team also want to reduce the amount of waste in the restaurant, so every part of a vegetable from stem to peel is used. They’ve even recently created coffee sweets made from the leftover coffee grounds.
