Capitaine

RESTAURANT SUMMARY

epclublogoblackgold.png

Capitaine is a celebration of provenance, craftsmanship, and contemporary luxury—an intimate farm‑to‑table restaurant where the seasons set the rhythm. Rooted in the bounty surrounding Unknown City, our kitchen partners directly with small-scale farms, foragers, and day-boat fishers to showcase ingredients at their vibrant peak. Each menu is composed daily, allowing our chef to honor what arrives fresh at dawn—crisp garden greens, sun‑ripened fruit, heritage-breed meats, and sustainably harvested seafood.

The experience begins with a warm welcome and a sense of calm sophistication. Natural textures, soft lighting, and thoughtful details create an elegant backdrop for dining, while the open kitchen offers a glimpse into the precise artistry behind every course. Our signature tasting menu leads guests on a narrative journey of terroir: delicate vegetable compositions, slow‑cooked cuts that highlight depth and character, and inventive desserts inspired by orchard and field. A concise à la carte selection is also available for those seeking flexibility without compromising on creativity.

At the heart of Capitaine’s philosophy is integrity—of sourcing, technique, and hospitality. We work closely with producers who share our commitment to regenerative agriculture and ethical stewardship. This dedication resonates in the purity of flavors on the plate, where restraint meets refinement: house-cultured butter churned from local cream, broths clarified for clarity and concentration, and preserves that capture fleeting seasons for later celebration.

Our beverage program is designed to complement, not overshadow. The wine list leans toward low-intervention producers and classic regions, with thoughtful verticals and a curated selection by the glass for perfect pairings. For non‑drinkers and the simply curious, our zero‑proof infusions, herbaceous spritzes, and garden‑driven ferments provide layered, food‑friendly alternatives.

Service at Capitaine is polished yet personal. We guide, never dictate—accommodating preferences, dietary needs, and the pace of each table. Whether marking a milestone, hosting discerning clients, or seeking an evening of culinary discovery, guests can expect discretion, comfort, and meticulous care.

Capitaine invites you to taste Unknown City through the lens of modern terroir cuisine—where luxury is measured not by excess, but by authenticity, nuance, and time well spent at the table. Reserve your seat and savor the season with us.
