Delve into a culinary journey that intertwines the essence of a Scottish tragedy with the serene beauty of Finnish nature.
Perlina di Castello’s opera-inspired dish marries the haunting fate of Macbeth with the pristine charm of nature. The essence of clear waters, misty isles, and expansive lake views come alive in this creation, telling a tale of ambition and the freshness of nature.
The pan-fried rainbow trout symbolizes the purity and depth of Lake Saimaa’s waters while hinting at the dark secrets hidden beneath the surface. Accompanied by roasted root vegetables and greens, the dish honors traditional Finnish ingredients, bringing earthy richness to the plate. Fresh herbs, adding brightness and warmth, complete the dish. Like Macbeth’s ambition, the dish balances light and shadow harmoniously.

Rainbow trout fillet from Varkaus
Herbs from Järvikylä, just 85 km away in Joroinen
Local new potatoes and chives
Cauliflower purée
Carrot butter sauce
Roasted carrot and green asparagus
The dish is lactose-free and gluten-free.
