Farmlore in Bangalore offers a unique dining experience within a farm, embodying the essence of traditions and sustainable gastronomy. Their commitment to farm-to-table practices and sustainability shines through in every aspect of their culinary creations, making it a memorable journey of ingredient-based food.

During my recent visit, Farmlore presented a dining experience themed around the Oscars. Each dish was ingeniously crafted with ingredients hinting at iconic Hollywood movies that received the prestigious award. This creative concept added an extra layer of excitement to the meal.

The ten-course meal commenced with a delightful assortment of bread, cheese, and caviar, cleverly representing the movie “Titanic.” The journey continued with dishes like crispy turkey reminiscent of “Green Book,” succulent shrimp on a bed of okra symbolizing “Forrest Gump,” and Iranian flatbread with an array of dips inspired by “Argo.”

One of the highlights was the inventive presentation of ramdon, featuring pork broth and udon noodles made using methyl dropped into the hot broth with a syringe, a nod to the movie “Parasite.” Each course was not only delicious but also a visual feast, with dishes like tomato sorbet served on charcoal powder, representing “The Artist”

The culinary adventure had treats like jollof rice paired with red mullet, a homage to “12 Years of a Slave,” and tender lamb chops with Fava Beans, reminiscent of “Silence of the Lambs.” Desserts were equally delightful, with Pondicherry chocolate ice cream symbolizing “Life of Pi” and a matcha cake paired with yuzu burning sorbet.

The attention to detail and innovative presentation extended to the final touch—a cute pink meringue bonbon, serving as a clue for the movie “CODA.” Each dish showcased Farmlore’s dedication to not only tantalize the taste buds but also to create a holistic dining experience that celebrates ingredients, creativity and sustainability. The pairing with Sonarys wine added fizz to the evening.
