About Cow by Bear

Cow by Bear offers an intimate and unique dining experience. Guests meet at a separate location before being walked to the dinner site, where they are treated to a stunning table setting and an impressive five-course menu with wine pairings. The culinary experience is led by Chef Bear and her team, who create dishes that are both creative and delicious.

Throughout the meal, each course is explained in detail, and the dishes are flavorful and well-presented. The first course features a squash dish with spiced pepitas and tahini, paired with a Chardonnay that many find enjoyable.

The fourth course includes two pieces of filet mignon with pink peppercorn sauce, asparagus, and baked potato, paired with Cabernet. For dessert, there is a spice cake with pear cider and whipped cream, enjoyed with a cocktail.

Between courses, guests often mingle, share laughs, and learn about each other's stories. The menu changes, offering new dishes to try on different visits.
