Abstract Expressionism – Night in the Hotel: Charcoal toast served with whipped feta, dehydrated olive, and a touch of silver.
Desserts:
- Installation – The Dream of Venus: A blueberry petit gâteau inspired by Dalí’s ethereal themes.
- Paranoiac Critical – The Metamorphosis of Narcissus: A decadent Belgian chocolate moelleux.
- Symbolism – The Red Orchestra: Fresh strawberry paired with crème pâtissière.

Each dish showcased the intersection of food and art, reimagining flavors and textures with Dalí’s signature eccentricity.
