SIGNATURE TASTING MENU

Chef’s tasting: DUEL

Introducing Duel: The name says it all—this menu is a culinary face-off between two talented teams of chefs, each bringing their unique flair to every dish. This brand-new concept reimagines steakhouse cuisine with a creative twist. Each course will be a thrilling competition between the two teams, with guests having the chance to vote on which dish they prefer. This playful, yet friendly competition will still incorporate Travail’s intimate dining experience, with a multi-course chef’s tasting menu and wine pairings.
