So here I am again, back at Gaudi&Naan, this time diving into their tasting menu. My first visit was already a wild ride \u2014 full of bold ideas, surprising flavors, and playful textures. You can read all about that first experience here<\/a>But round two? It\u2019s shaping up to be even more exciting. Let\u2019s see if it lives up to the hype \u2014 and my expectations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last time, I sat inside \u2014 this time, I\u2019m going for the terrace. The courtyard is shared with two other restaurants, but it\u2019s surprisingly calm and quiet. I already know what I\u2019m here for, but I still double-check with the waiter: is the tasting menu actually paced so you can enjoy all those courses without tapping out halfway through? He nods. Game on. Let\u2019s begin. Four Starters \u2014 Too Much of a Good Thing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First up: Roasted Pepper Rolls with Cauliflower Pur\u00e9e<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The first starter lands on the table in no time \u2014 delicate orange pepper rolls filled with a silky cauliflower pur\u00e9e. The peppers seem either roasted or blanched and peeled \u2014 no skin, super tender, beautifully plated. Now, full disclosure: I usually can\u2019t stand raw peppers. But here? Cooked just right and paired with cauliflower and basil, they actually caught me off guard \u2014 in a good way. <\/p>\n\n\n
