Last Wednesday we enjoyed a dinner of 7 steps and 7 wines that we will remember for a long time.
Los Nadies is a winery which we greatly admire, not only of course for its wines, but also for the people who make it a reality, starting with Manuel Filgueira, his wife Gabriela and their two children.
Umami is also a restaurant very dear to us. Chef Nacho Lacava is one of the best chefs in Uruguay and together with the whole team at Umami, it will hopefully be a place you will return to many times on your own.
Together, Nacho and Manuel have worked together to design this incredible 7-course menu paired with the wines of Los Nadies.
Here goes the detailed menu:
Step 1:
Tempura Broad Beans with Creme Fraiche, Black River Sturgeon Caviar and Togarashi.
Wine: Sparkling Celebration
Step 2:
Cured Fish, Confit Fennel Salad, Orange Curd with Saffran

Step 3:
