Story

An experience shaped around you

At MelTon’s Kitchen, there is no fixed journey and nothing is imposed upon you.

Our menu has been imagined as a sequence of moments, yet you decide how to experience them: what to choose, what to share and how far curiosity carries you.

You may discover a single dish or create a fuller experience, always at your own pace and without unnecessary formality.

Each creation tells a story, but there is no order you must follow. Sometimes, it is enough to choose the dish that quietly draws you in.

Our à la carte dishes range from €10 to €29, because we believe food with identity, sensitivity and truth should still feel within reach.

Here, you do not simply come to eat. You come to discover what a dish can make you feel when it has been created with intention.

There was a time when a stone could be treasure, the floor could turn into lava, and a few lines drawn on the ground were enough to keep us playing all afternoon.

We grew up in different places and gave those games different names, but somehow, we were all playing the same ones.

This menu was born from those memories, from a time when discovering, hiding, jumping, pulling or simply using our hands was enough to make us happy.

And as we return to them, some of those games are coming back to the table. Only this time, you can eat them.

Welcome to MelTon’s Kitchen, where, for a moment, memories take their place at the table once more…

From October 06 to 24

Perhaps we grew up in different countries, perhaps our games had different names, but for a little while we all return to the same place.
