Moment

Today is the start of Moment. Well, the idea has been around for a little, but today is the day that we start sharing it with others. You might wonder, why Moment and what will change? Well, not much is different at a glance. We still make our own sourdough bread, work predominantly with locally sourced and organic products and care about quality. So what’s the difference?

Before we infuse you with our thoughts, here is the menu you were looking for:

It’s about now

Moment is a commitment to do things now, to not overcomplicate stuff and really connect with what you love by simply doing it. Sophie and I (Lex) have thought about Moment for a long time and what keeps us from being in it. We discovered that the easiest way would be to stop compromising. These are the first things we decided to do:

• Start this blog We decided to start this blog. Nice and old school, like the way we engaged with friends and family before Facebook was born in 2004. In this blog, we will share upcoming events, new menu ideas, and sometimes just the process that leads up to these events and new products. So if you want to stay in the loop, you can subscribe (see top of page / subscribe to our digest)
• Focus on connection Things have gotten so fast. We want to slow down a little, delve deeper, and connect with everything life has to offer. We’d rather write three meaningful blogs per week than post incessantly on social media. By reclaiming our time to focus on this connection we believe that everything gets better: the food we serve, the relations we build and the way we approach challenges in general. This blog forces us and you to take a little bit more time to stay in the loop, but we are confident that it will lead to something better.
• Family first In our pursuit to create seriously good moments we will never compromise on family. We feel we have done this a little too much in the last two years. Our heart rate will be our compass, if it goes up for too long we will simply slow down. However, we feel our new approach will enable us to endure longer by going a little slower. Better for you and better for us.
• Simplify then Amplify We love food and food experiences! If we had infinite resources, we’re sure that every night would be a party here. But… we’re human so we need to learn to live in constraint. This doesn’t mean that we cannot provide an amazing food experience. For now, we are focusing on breakfast and lunch, a monthly dining event, and being available for private events.
• Be more Try less We’re not sure where it went wrong, but it seems that our society designed two realities: one where you practice and one where you succeed. We believe that there is only one reality and that is now. We need to embrace being more and accept that failure is an inevitable part of the process. We will still taste our dishes prior to serving it to you. It just means that we won’t postpone sharing the process with you until we feel it’s perfect. We navigate on what we love and if it feels right we will do it and maybe stop doing it if it didn’t end up well.

Now is a good time

Life is so precious, time is so valuable and we really want to embrace it. It might sound trippy but Moment really is a mission to let’s be more human again. Focus on now, share it with each other, and make sure to remember those good moments for times when it’s harder to live them. It is our commitment to make being here worth your time.
