La Truna In Demonte

15/08/2024: Municipal Enoteca "I Crutin" is a true jewel hidden in the heart of the Borgomale square, located within the charming town hall of the village. From the first step into the restaurant, you perceive a unique and welcoming atmosphere, almost like entering a fairy tale. The limited number of seats (about twenty in total) guarantees an attentive and attentive service, where every guest feels welcomed at home. The cuisine is a triumph of the Piedmontese tradition of the Langhe, with dishes prepared with fresh, high-quality raw materials. We opted for the Fassona tartare with a knife as a starter, followed by the Tajarin with mushrooms and the Plin with ragù as first courses (both off the menu). Each dish was a sublime experience for the palate, with authentic and well-balanced flavours. To conclude on a sweet note, we enjoyed the traditional "Bonet" and a hazelnut cake accompanied by Moscato zabaglione, both excellent desserts that made our meal unforgettable. The owner and his wife are of a rare friendliness: welcoming and helpful, they make the experience even more pleasant with their genuine hospitality. The Enoteca offers the possibility of choosing a tasting menu with Starter, First Course, Second Course and Dessert for 35 euros, or the Traditional Menu with Tajarin with ragù as first course, Barolo braised meat with side dish as second course and Bonet as dessert for 25 euros. A simple place, which focuses on the quality of the dishes, perfect for those looking for authenticity and tradition in an intimate and fascinating context.

19/07/2024: Stedet er fint. Udvalget af mad er ikke stort. Priserne virker rimelige. Men priserne er uden tilbehør, som ikke fremgår af menukortet. Tilbehøret spørges der til i en tilfældig sætning, og pludselig er regningen €11 dyrere for to personer, ligesom der betales €5 for brød/grissini, som bliver sat på bordet uden at spørge.
