Cost: $150

For one evening, the kitchens of avec and Perilla come together for a shared table. This multi-course dinner explores the harmony between Mediterranean hearth cooking and Korean tradition—layering smoke, citrus, fermentation, and spring vegetables into a menu that moves from delicate to deeply savory, finishing with something bright and sweet.

Tasting menu will be paired with a selection of wine and cocktails.
