Le Calandre

I have already booked and paid online. The food here is very unique, it is hard for me to describe it. Anyway, everyone who has eaten it will think it is magical. The price is okay, two people plus drinks cost 435 euros. You will definitely be very full! In addition, it is recommended that people who don’t drink often don’t order extra wine, because if you drink too much, you will not be able to eat. Because the photos were copied from Erpang’s camera, the time seems to be wrong. This should be the night of the 12th day.

I still want to buy plates after dinner. A three-star Michelin restaurant with a sense of design. Location | Padua, Italy Visit | Le Calandre Favorite dishes | Black squid cappuccino, licorice saffron risotto, suckling pig with chestnut puree, almond mozzarella Per capita | ¥2500/person Le Calandre means "calendar" in Italian, and what impressed me most was not the seasonal menu, but the overall design of the restaurant. In 2002, the restaurant received 3 stars, and the 28-year-old Max Alajmo also became the youngest three-star Michelin chef in the world that year. Chef Max emphasizes the integrity of the restaurant experience. From the original wooden table hand-carved from a tree, to the lights on the table, from the perfume used in the room to the tableware and cups used for each dish, to the work clothes of the waiters, all are designed by the brothers and customized by Italian craftsmen. There are balls of yarn on the table. Max said that this is to let people find the moment when they watched their mother knitting sweaters as children, and want to grab the rustic touch of the yarn ball. These small props with a sense of design will easily draw you into the dining table scene of memories of home and childhood curiosity. Some of my favorite dishes from the 15-course tasting menu: "Black Squid Cappuccino" It is made with cooked black squid cubes and mashed potatoes. It is named cappuccino because it has the same texture as cappuccino coffee. The chef added a label to this dish - the first taste, which means the feeling of a baby tasting food for the first time. When eating, stir the mashed potatoes and the cuttlefish cubes and sauce at the bottom. It is smooth and has the fresh fragrance of cuttlefish. "Italian fettuccine with pork cheek" The pork cheek is tender and fragrant, and the fettuccine is a little hard and chewy, which is the taste I like. The customized plate is very interesting. There is a round hole inside that can replace the spoon. The fork stops the noodles at the round hole, so it is convenient to roll up the noodles. "Licorice saffron risotto with green celery and artichokes" It has a little hard core inside, and may be a little rawer than the taste that Chinese people usually like, but I think the heat is well controlled. The flavor has a slight herbal taste brought by licorice and saffron, but it becomes more complex and pleasant when paired with Tribion ​​white wine. The plate with the risotto is also very design-oriented, with yellow circular hand-painted patterns painted with saffron juice, which is particularly appetizing. "Suckling pig with chestnut puree, hazelnuts and white truffles" The crispy skin and roasted aroma of the suckling pig are well done, especially with chestnut puree, which is particularly fragrant. "Almond mozzarella" The restaurant's classic dessert is not only delicious, but also very humorous. It looks like a mozzarella buffalo cheese ball on the surface. When you open the crispy shell made of egg whites and honey, you will find that there is almond milk foam inside, and olives and capers are served next to it, which also imitates the appearance of eating cheese. There are also many derivative products for sale in the restaurant, including plates for pasta and risotto, special cups for squid cappuccino, balls of yarn, etc. Immersed in the art and warm atmosphere of this meal, many companions were very interested in ordering the restaurant's cups and plates. Indeed, when dining in such a restaurant, you consume not only delicious food, but also a lifestyle with unique design and enjoyment, and a memory of your mood.
