Informazioni
Il ristorante MÉZ trae ispirazione dallo storico commercio delle spezie tra le civiltà dell'Asia, dell'Africa nordorientale e dell'Europa. Celebra l'antico uso e scambio di spezie come cannella, cassia, cardamomo, zenzero, pepe, noce moscata, anice stellato, chiodi di garofano e curcuma. Questa rotta commerciale si ampliò, collegando Roma, l'Africa settentrionale, l'Oceano Indiano e la Cina, con l'India al centro.
La scoperta di una rotta alternativa verso il Sud-est asiatico da parte di Vasco da Gama nel XV secolo portò alla creazione di un impero delle spezie con Goa come fulcro. La cucina indiana si diffuse nel Sud-est asiatico, mentre quella del Sud-est asiatico giunse in India e in Sri Lanka.
Da MÉZ cerchiamo di riscoprire e onorare le tradizioni culinarie plasmate dall'Oceano Indiano, tradizioni che hanno lasciato un'impronta profonda nella storia gastronomica mondiale.
