At the heart of every great dining experience is the menu — a curated journey that reflects creativity, passion, and respect for ingredients. To uncover the story behind Nox’s diverse and inspired offerings, we sat down with our head chef, Alex Martin, to discuss the inspirations and philosophy that shape our menu.

What inspires your culinary creations?
Chef Alex explains, “My inspiration comes from a blend of tradition and innovation. I grew up surrounded by classic dishes, but I love to experiment with new techniques and unexpected flavor combinations. Every dish we create is a story — one that connects our guests to both familiar tastes and exciting surprises.”

How important are local ingredients in your menu?
“We are deeply committed to sourcing fresh, local produce,” says Alex. “Working with nearby farms and artisans ensures our dishes highlight the best seasonal ingredients. This not only supports the community but also brings a genuine freshness and quality that you can taste in every bite.”

Can you share some unique flavor combinations featured on the menu?
“Our menu features some bold pairings that guests have grown to love,” Alex shares. “For example, our signature beetroot and goat cheese ravioli with a hint of citrus zest — it balances earthiness with brightness in a way that’s both comforting and refreshing. Another favorite is the smoked paprika-infused lamb with a mint and pomegranate glaze, which brings together smoky, sweet, and tangy notes harmoniously.”

Which dishes are the most popular among guests?
“Our classic roasted duck with cherry reduction remains a standout,” Alex says proudly. “It’s a timeless dish that never fails to impress. Also, our seasonal wild mushroom risotto draws rave reviews, especially during autumn when mushrooms are at their peak.”

Are there any exciting seasonal additions on the horizon?
“Yes! We love keeping the menu dynamic,” Alex notes. “This spring, we’re introducing a fresh asparagus and lemon ricotta tart, celebrating the vibrant flavors of the season. Later in summer, guests can look forward to a chilled watermelon gazpacho — perfect for warm evenings.”

At Nox, every dish is thoughtfully crafted to delight and surprise. Thanks to Chef Alex’s dedication and passion, the menu continues to evolve, inviting guests on a flavorful journey from beloved classics to innovative signature creations.
