Edulis is about many things – the pleasure of enjoying a gathering around the table to share authentic dishes and to be greeted like a friend; conviviality, feasting, celebrating the craft and tradition of cooking, honesty, and spectacular ingredients.
The strength at Edulis is cooking for you – listening to your preferences, aversions, appetite, and making you a beautiful feast. As the season unfolds, so does our inspiration. Our menus change to showcase the ingredients of the moment – with a strong focus on seafood, vegetables, and wild mushrooms. You are encouraged to put yourselves into their hands. They offer two choices of menus – 5 or 7 courses for $65 or $85. In truffle season they also offer Truffle Menus
