Episode 42: My first Vendange pt.3Restaurant reviews: Ubuntu - a Vegan restaurant in Napa
I decided to go vegan tonight, just a night I promise. I heard a lot of hypes of this vegan restaurant which located on Main St. of Napa downtown. So I was quite curious. Ubuntu is the name and it roughly means Humanity toward others. There is a Yoga studio inside the restaurant on the second floor which is quite smart.
Here is the tasting menu I had:
The Garden Menu
Shiso , italian ice with olive oil & sea salt
Radishes with local chevre, nori
cool Heirloom tomato minestrone, butterbeans, Haricot vert
round pond figs, somked & grilled, Piquillo jam, burrata, surrey
Yogurt
a delicate summer stew, Garlic confit, okra, chickpeas & fried pepper
Alliums & Fregola, natural broth with sherry, Boradeaux sauce
expression of Carrots, scented with vadouvan & Nasturtium flowers
summer Melon, prosecco sabayon, Basil ice cream
Last course: vegan devil's food cupcakes
2 of my favorite dishes above all are the Garlic confit in summer stew and the Alliums & fregola in Bordeaux sherry broth
Unfortunately, after all this….Mmm… I was still hungry
