Cooking World

The majority of used products are grown specially for this restaurant on farms in Santa Cruz Mountains. These are vegetables, fruits and cereals grown exclusively with the help of biodynamic and organic methods. At that cooks try to use on kitchen only fresh products, gathered in the morning of the same day.

The owner of the restaurant was the head-cook in restaurant Silks in five-stars hotel Mandarin Oriental in San Francisco. He was in charge of restaurants Schweizer Stuben in Germany, Akelarre in Spain and L’Esperance in France. Then he has again returned to the States and became the chief of the legendary restaurant Ernie’s in San Francisco.

In 1995 he has founded his own restaurant Sent Sovi in Saratoga. It was an excellent opportunity to try himself as a victualer and to earn some money. In July, 2002 he opened Manresa.

To make the most of all riches of taste, there is constantly varying seasonal menu, some testing menus and so-called gastronomic courses. All dishes are selected for one menu not casually. Supplementing each other, they become the true gastronomic show.

Each dish is supplemented with an unusual serving and accompanied by waiter’s detailed story about the used products and technologies.

However each should know when to stop: everything in the restaurant cannot be extravagant. Therefore unusual dishes and serving are accompanied with simple, unostentatious service.
