Excited to be back in the kitchen of a brand new restaurant just as it starts out, Swiss-born, and trained in French cuisine, Chef Vetsch has designed Silo’s menu on Contemporary American cuisine with a Swiss/French twist that pays homage to his heritage.
Some of his dishes to look forward to include:
§ Kohlrabi Soup with Appenzeller Cheese Fondue and Fennel Oil
§ Mussels Gratinée in a Vermouth Leek Sauce
§ Fried Pumpkin Triangles with Eggplant Tomato Mousse and Garlic sautéed Spinach on Cauliflower Sauce (VEGAN)
§ Potato crusted Branzino on sautéed Spinach with Tomato-Olive-Caper Concasse in a Fennel Soubise”
