Maison Noir Reserve

The Menu

The dining room serves tasting menus only. Everything on the à la carte list below is served at Bar Noir and in the lounge, where you can eat one dish or seven. All prices are in US dollars.

Tasting menus

One menu per table. We ask that the whole table takes the same length of menu so the kitchen can pace the room.
