Merfallëa

[Osowiec]

"Cooking is art and we are its masterful painters."
​

Lead by Chef Ralocan, the Merfallëa is a new high-culture restaurant birthed from the necessity he felt to be able to serve a more high-class list of guests. The Merfallëa is an Altalar tea lounge restaurant that specializes in the cuisine of its people, and abstains from serving anything else but the finest of dishes, cookies, and teas. Heavily based around seafood, tossed salads, and their famous croutons - the Merfallëa is a work of art handcrafted carefully down to the finest details to serve only the finest of guests.

With that in mind, the Merfallëa upholds the right to deny service to Kathar, criminals, and any low-life commoners that try to wander within. The guest list typically consists of nobility, aristocracy, and fellow Altalar. Commoners need not attempt entry into this bastion of creative decadence. Located at Queenwall17, come see us sometime for a most illustrious meal!

The Menu​

Appetizers

• Ohteairen: Several slices of toasted bread served with a side of caviar, honey garlic dip, and your choice of jam.

• Tindahyalma: One dozen sea urchin innards prepared in a clam's shell with a zesty sauce and lemon garnish.

Entrees

• Lissëhala: A wood-grilled salmon coated in a sauce made from a balsamic reduction mixed with honey before plated with freshly baked croutons and a side-salad of vinegar, olives, and hazelnut.
• Peccohala: Haddock grilled to a crispy perfection with a layer of sauteed minced onions with almonds on top and a side of freshly steamed broccoli. Paired with freshly baked croutons and a side-salad of bowtie pasta, cucumbers, bell peppers, and tomatoes; all flavored with an Altalar Vinaigrette.
• Firyanixi: Trout served in a creamy soup of onions, steamed broccoli, whole milk, paprika, and garlic that is simmered for over an hour to achieve its slow-cooked perfection. Served with a side of freshly baked croutons and a light salad of vinegar, shredded mozzarella, and olives.
• Nárëlingwë Tuna served raw in a flower pattern with radish slices and a sauce made from olive oil, wine vinegar, and tuna fat. Flambe available at customer's request. Served with freshly baked croutons and a side salad of green peppers, carrots, and cucumbers sliced to a circular 'noodle' consistency with a dressing of ginger sauce.

The following letter is addressed to Chef Ralocan.

Spoiler: Written Letter

Chef Ralocan,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and mind. My name is Rhea Mikaladis, and I am the store manager of Stormcrow Spirit Traders and Imports. Chatter among the cultured and refined people of the city, as well as your establishment's name crossing my desk, has brought your business to our attention. For that, we would be delighted if you would join us for a complimentary wine tasting in store! We believe that some of our wines would pair perfectly with your menu. I hope that you will consider our offer!

Spirit bless,

 

[Osowiec]

Dear, Rhea Mikaladis (@_artdeco_)

A most illustrious greeting to you. The Merfallëa would be most interested in attending a wine tasting at your establishment to sample wines for an opening event soon. We'd be most delighted to open up a wine menu that would include your selection within it if the tasting goes well enough, and hope that our clientele will enjoy it as much as we may. I'll attend to the Stormcrow as quickly as time allows.

Signed,
Glynnan Ralocan
Head Chef and Owner of the Merfallëa ​
