It’s always great to find restaurants which fly a bit under the radar and one can get a real surprise with a fun and creative night. Tasting House https://www.tastinghouse.com/ in Los Gatos is often more known as a wine and champagne bar but it more recently “upgraded” their kitchen team and it is obvious that they are trying with their tasting menu to aim towards a Michelin star. It is an interesting menu getting influences from all over the world and playing around with different techniques. Nice wine pairing and very good service with the dessert served in their separate cocktail lounge (with a homemade tea with different fresh herbs, ginger, honey etc). It won’t be our last time at Tasting House.
