SEASON MENUS (same conditions like the Classic Menu)

On large request these menus depend completely on the seasonal availability of the market offers and therefore the dishes cannot be defined here. If you desire a beautiful surprise with local specialities, just indicate your dislikes and trust Mattisse´s creativity.

PLEASE NOTE:
It is NOT possible to interchange "Classic Menu" dishes with dishes of the "Grand Gourmet" nor "Dinner for Two" Menu, unless you decide to go with these higher priced menus !

If so I beg your pardon and thanks for your understanding.
