Taste of Beauty in Fountain Valley offers an exceptional fine dining experience focused on cross-cultural, plant-based cuisine. This restaurant has become a favorite among diners by transforming fresh, seasonal ingredients into visually stunning and delicious dishes. The Spring/Summer 2024 menu, Earthscapes, showcases their culinary innovation and artistic presentation.
The Earthscapes menu is an 8-course tasting experience that highlights the flavors of the earth. Available in both vegetarian and vegan options, this menu reflects a deep connection to nature and the culinary traditions of different cultures. Here are some standout dishes:
The Desert:
Inspired by the Gobi Desert, this dish features fried elm mushrooms seasoned with herbs and cumin, crispy chili peppers, and Mexican squash. Presented on Gobi stones with a smoky effect from dry ice, it offers a visually and gastronomically memorable experience.
The Ocean:
This dish pays homage to the ocean with sea grapes, sea asparagus, and coral moss, arranged on a shell-shaped dish with smooth okra puree. It highlights the rich umami flavors of kelp broth and konjac.
The Garden:
An edible garden showcasing hawthorn flowers filled with plant-based foie gras, baba ganoush "soil" with fresh herbs and micro-greens, and a green pepper flower filled with mushrooms and vegan cheese. Each component is meticulously crafted for a visual and sensory feast.
The Rainforest:
This dish captures the essence of a tropical rainforest with a banana leaf box filled with Japanese risotto, enriched with black truffle, mushrooms, and asparagus. Cooked to creamy perfection with white wine, vegan butter, and vegan parmesan, it is a truly indulgent experience.
Dining at Taste of Beauty is an immersive experience where each dish is a canvas and every meal a masterpiece. The restaurant's commitment to fresh, seasonal ingredients and the blend of traditional methods with modern flair ensures a sensory delight in every plate.
