The Artists’ Supper
Final Fine Dining Exam by HRC Students
Talents Restaurant
February 8
6:00 PM
Price per person: 70 EUR (136,90 BGN)

On February 8th at 6:00 PM, Talant Restaurant will transform into a space where art meets gastronomy .
The Artists’ Supper is the final exam dinner by HRC students and the second dinner in this semester’s series, where they present their original vision of fine dining as a form of artistic expression.
Inspired by various works of art, students interpret paintings and sculptures through:
– dominant colors 
– symbolism and hidden meanings 
– their personal interpretation of the deeper message 
Each course is a standalone interpretation, while the entire dinner is a curated multi-course experience, turning each plate into a canvas.
The name of the dinner is inspired by Leonardo da Vinci’s iconic masterpiece – The Last Supper, with The Artists’ Supper offering a contemporary take, where young chefs take the place of the artists.
Menu coming soon!!!
