Menu
Don Alfonso 1890's cuisine is characterized by its modernity, Mediterranean flare and the exceptional quality of the raw materials used. These key principals are reflected in the 8 course tasting menu available in the dining room. The menu of uniquely crafted dishes begins with a collection of canapés proceeded by courses including ice creamed eel with Sturgeon caviar, seared Muscovy duck breast, organic Manitoba bison tenderloin in a rustic bread crust and finished with a Neapolitan Sfogliatella, an Italian delicacy with layers of phyllo, cinnamon infused pastry cream and Amarena cherry glaze. The tasting menu is also available with vegetarian options including a rendition of the traditional baked egg with black truffle caviar, soy smoked organic tofu soup and rigatoni Vesuvius. Guests can also dine on the full selection of canapés and order courses à la carte in the lounge on the mezzanine level.
Chef Saverio Macri will oversee the kitchen, having spent several months in Italy working with Chef Ernesto Iaccarino at the original Don Alfonso 1890. Chef Macri and his team of culinary professions create each dish with expert precision using the finest quality ingredients available. Each course is plated on a one of a kind vessel selected specifically to highlight the characteristics of the food and the stunning presentation.
Corporate Mixologist Oliver Stern has created a cocktail menu intended to elevate the cocktail experience to the level of the cuisine. In addition to offering a selection of classic cocktails, the menu will also feature a number of one of a kind molecular cocktails.
