Tasting Counter

Somerville, MA

New Concept and Design-Build

VISION

Chef Peter Ungár envisioned an intimate restaurant where the menu remains secret until guests arrive and are taken through an interactive, multi-sensory dining experience. RealFood was selected as the foodservice design partner on this new 25-seat concept located in a hidden corner of Somerville, MA.

PROCESS

RealFood developed a space that created a performance stage where the culinary team and its creations blended seamlessly with the guest’s dining experience. To support the chef’s culinary style, the design team integrated cutting-edge culinary technology and unique front of house finishes to bring the guest into the experience of meal creation.
