A Minimalist Gem with Promising Depth
Faelt presents itself as an intriguing minimalist restaurant, where the focus is clearly on flavor, seasonal expression, and thoughtful composition. The tasting menu showcases both restraint and creativity, with three standout courses:
* White asparagus with Tom Yum sauce, crunchy onion, and baby noodles, surprises with its bold, aromatic punch—an unexpected but welcome twist on a spring classic.
* Fake carbonara, where celery ribbons mimic tagliatelle in a pecorino-based sauce, complemented by parsley oil and a vegan bacon crumble, offers a sleek and well-balanced interplay of textures and savory notes.
* Slow-cooked lamb tongue with lentils, lamb jus, and mushroom duxelles-filled beignets is a quiet triumph—delicate yet assertive, with a richness that lingers in memory.
Service is warm and attentive, with a particularly engaging interaction with the head chef that adds a personal touch. The wine pairing is unpretentious yet well-matched to the menu, enhancing the experience without overpowering the dishes.
While the menu is thoughtfully constructed, there remains potential to further explore and elevate the umami depth in one or two courses—an opportunity for the kitchen to reach even greater heights.
