Gourmet menu for your dream birthday party
Planning a birthday party can be both exciting and overwhelming. You want everything to be perfect, especially the food. After all, a birthday celebration isn’t truly complete without a memorable meal that leaves guests raving!
Why Choose a Tasting Menu?
A gourmet tasting menu is more than just food; it's an experience. It’s about indulging in exquisite flavors, beautifully presented dishes, and a dining experience that feels luxurious and exclusive.
It's also an opportunity to learn about ingredients and processes from the chef, who introduces each dish with its journey from farm to table. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone birthday or simply want to treat yourself and your guests to something extraordinary, a gourmet menu sets the tone for an unforgettable event.
Personalized Touch
Every birthday is unique, and your menu should be too. Collaborate with a seasoned chef to craft a bespoke menu that aligns with your tastes and preferences.
At Vendador, you get to do that with Michelin-trained chefs, who can seamlessly work out a menu incorporating your favorite ingredients, dietary needs and theme inspirations. They can be inspired by anything you wish, perhaps your favorite vacation to Vienna or Tuscany, or the comfort food from your grandmother, or perhaps the place you met your spouse.
Inspiration to personalize a menu can come from anywhere, and Vendador chefs are uniquely tasked with the honor of bringing that to life for your special occasions.
Seasonal Ingredients
A hallmark of a well-curated, gourmet menu is the utilization of fresh, seasonal ingredients. Selecting the finest produce available allows for the creation of dishes that are not only delectable, but also showcase the most exquisite flavors of the season. Whether it’s a summer soirée adorned with vibrant greens, herbs, and fruits, or a cozy winter gathering featuring roots, cured seafood and ferments, your menu can highlight the best that each season has to offer.
Signature DisheS
Here are a few signature dishes that can make your birthday menu truly special, and thoughts to consider before talking with a Chef about your requests:
Appetizers: Start your celebration with a burst of flavor. Think truffle-infused or saffron arancini, foie gras mousse on polenta tart, or a vibrant hamachi crudo with citrus and herbs.
Main Courses: Delight your guests with multiple courses that grow in heartiness. Fresh Maitake Pappardelle, Butternut squash agnolotti, low-cooked beef tenderloin with a bordelaise, seared scallops with sunchoke purée, or a vegetarian pomodoro with arrabiatta and Parmesan crisps.
Desserts: No birthday is complete without dessert. Craft something unforgettable with our Pastry Chef, who can personalize any kind of dessert your heart desires. We almost never create the same dessert (or menu!) twice, the world is your oyster.
Perfect Pairings
A gourmet meal deserves equally impressive beverages. Our sommelier can suggest wine pairings that complement each course perfectly, or you can opt for custom-crafted cocktails that match your theme and preferences. From a crisp Sauvignon Blanc with your seafood starter to a robust Cabernet Sauvignon with your main course, our Sommelier is also equipped to pair your dinner from the collection you already have in your wine cellar.
Creating the Atmosphere
The ambiance is just as important as the food. We take the time to understand your vision and connect you with top-tier vendors who can bring your desired atmosphere to life. Whether it's an intimate dinner party or a grand celebration, we ensure the setting complements the culinary experience.
Stress-Free Planning
Planning a birthday party can be daunting, but it needn’t be. By entrusting the culinary intricacies to professionals, you can luxuriate in the celebration while every detail is meticulously handled.
