Savoir
5-Course French Meets Mediterranean Tasting Event
Originally opened in 2019, this Heights favorite was feared gone until it reopened this past August in new hands. It is now under the direction of Chef/Owner Jose Hernandez, formerly of Lucienne, Brasserie du Parc, Triniti, and Michelin-Starred Flamma, where he served as Pastry Chef under James Beard Award-Winning Chef Fabio Trabocchi. Here, at Savoir, Chef Hernandez offers a French-Mediterranean menu that is delighting diners with its inventive dishes. Consider the baked brie with honey, pistachio, cranberry, thyme, and capers, tuna tartare with avocado, soy, and ginger, charred octopus with fingerling potatoes, steak frites, mushroom risotto, beef cheeks agnolotti with truffle butter, and the classic beef Wellington. Lots of luscious desserts as well, given the chef’s pastry chef background, with such treats as tiramisu, crème brûlèe, and a smashing chocolate s’mores tart. Chron says, “Savoir is back with familiar charm, elevated dishes, and a seasoned crew,” so we are excited for the opportunity to visit here and to chat with Chef Hernandez about his vision. We hope you can join us!
