Set Menu

  • Green Power (110) — Our proposal of five vegetarian courses: Tomato, almond and basil; Cold bbq salad; Ricotta cheese and bitter greens tortelli, cream sauce and hibiscus; Cucumber “Parmigiana”; Fruit ceviche and coconut.
  • Indulgence (110) — A journey or 5 or 7 dishes, chosen for you by our Chef. Created for those who simply want to enjoy pure gastronomic pleasure, without overthinking.
  • Manifesto (155) — In September 2026, Materia will turn 10. Manifesto was born from twelve dishes that have marked this journey. We didn’t revisit them, we made them from scratch. We went back in time to move forward with greater awareness. Same ideas, same ingredients, but with today’s perspective. This is our Manifesto.
