Pink Tuna Tartare with Guacamole Sauce, Pickled Ginger & Nori Chips
Dish Description:
An expression of elegance and ocean freshness on a plate — our Pink Tuna Tartare is crafted with precision and balance. Finely diced sashimi-grade tuna is delicately paired with creamy guacamole, pickled ginger, and crispy nori chips to create a sophisticated fusion of texture, flavor, and aroma.
Each bite offers a harmonious contrast: the buttery softness of raw tuna, the zesty brightness of ginger, the smooth avocado richness, and the umami crunch of seaweed.
A perfect starter for lovers of light, refined, and contemporary cuisine. Best enjoyed with a chilled white wine or sparkling Prosecco.
A Taste of Culinary Fusion:
Tuna tartare is a modern gastronomic staple, born at the crossroads of Japanese raw-fish tradition and French fine dining. It rose to prominence in the late 1980s in upscale American restaurants, gaining favor for its clean flavors, health benefits, and minimalist presentation — inspired by both sashimi and steak tartare.
At Valentino, we reinterpret this global classic with a Mediterranean–Asian twist:
-
Guacamole adds creamy depth with a hint of spice — a nod to Latin flair.
-
Pickled ginger brings balance and sharpness from the East.
-
Nori chips provide texture and a subtle sea breeze essence.
This isn’t just a dish — it’s a culinary conversation between continents, served in the romantic heart of Lviv.
Available at Valentino Restaurant, Swiss Hotel — in the elegant dining hall or on the scenic rooftop terrace with a view over Lviv.
