Cat Chat: Mavro’s summer menu

By Catherine Toth Fox • July 6, 2011 • Food, Videos

Change can be a good thing.

And that’s definitely the case at the award-winning restaurant Chef Mavro, which recently unveiled both a new chef de cuisine and a new summer menu.

Back in May, chef/owner George Mavrothalassitis (@chefmavro) hired Paul Feng — who has worked at Wolfgang Puck’s famed San Francisco restaurant Postrio and at the now-closed Tabla in New York City — as chef de cuisine. The two collaborated on a new summer menu with innovative dishes like a tako (octopus) ceviche with a tomato granite and a Keahole lobster a la Thai with coconut cream froth atop rice noodle cake.

I was salivating just reading the menu.

So we had to check it out for ourselves.

Chef Mavro graciously let us hang out in the kitchen before dinner last week to watch his staff prep this menu, about 80 percent of which uses locally grown ingredients. (Chef is big into the local farm-to-table movement.)

So here’s your sneak peek into the restaurant’s latest offerings and a chance to meet the new chef de cuisine. Sorry, there are no subtitles.

Around for more than a decade, Chef Mavro is consistently rated as one of the best Hawaii restaurants and holds the prestigious James Beard award.

The menu is offered in three courses ($75, $48 more with wine pairings), four courses ($85, $55 more with wine pairings), six courses ($128, $63 more with wine pairings), or the Grand Degustation, which is all of the dishes in tasting portions ($165, $85 more with wine pairings).

    Ate there about ten years ago… still thinking about how great the food was!

      You know, this menu wasn’t as bold as other seasons, but that’s what I loved about it. It was restrained without compromising on taste. 🙂
