In the world of gastronomy, there is a way of eating that goes beyond the usual à la carte dinners. We're talking about a tasting menu - a culinary journey full of surprises and experiences that the chef creates step by step.

If you haven't tasted it yet, it's high time. At the Colette restaurant in Bratislava you can immerse yourself in this format through an exceptional concept Carte Blanchethat lets you discover without limits.


Tasting menu: More than just dinner

The tasting menu is a curated series of courses that takes you through a variety of flavours and textures. While at a classic dinner you choose for yourself, here the chef decides for you. This creates a complete and balanced gastronomic story.

Each course serves as a step in this journey - from the amuse-bouche, through the main courses to dessert. Each of them has a purpose and a common goal: to amaze you with quality and surprise you with a combination of flavours.

Why choose a tasting menu?

This dinner format brings benefits that the regular menu doesn't offer:

  • You don't have to choose - everything is perfectly matched
  • You'll discover new combinations you wouldn't have chosen on your own
  • Each course has a story, and is not randomly assigned
  • The chef shows the best of his art

In addition, you can enhance the experience with wine pairings that complement each course with a selection of impeccable French etiquette.


Practical example: the Carte Blanche in Colette

At Colette, we have created a concept that builds on trust and creativity: the Carte Blanche. It's a monthly changing 5-course menu that includes an amuse-bouche to start and a pre-dessert as a prelude before a sweet finale.

Our chefs draw on the French tradition, but are not afraid to innovate. They use seasonal and local ingredients to create flavours that will surprise and enchant you.

Our sommelier Corto pairs wines exclusively from French wines - imported directly from independent winemakers.


Who is the tasting menu for?

  • For gourmets who crave an experience
  • For couples looking for a special evening
  • For all those who trust the chef
  • For guests who want a dinner to remember

Conclusion: the tasting menu as a journey full of surprises

Not every dinner has to be predictable. A tasting menu allows you to be guided and surprised. And at Colette, we'll take care of your experience with the same passion we take care of every detail on your plate.
