Special dinner courses presented by
La villa LUPICIA just for this winter

La villa LUPICIA is pleased to announce that it offers three dinner courses this winter, from which guests can choose what they most like.

The first is the “LUPICIA” dinner, which received high praise from guests last year. This course comprises an array of buffet-style appetizers showcased in front of the open kitchen and served in a buffet style; a main dish and a dessert cart from which guests can choose what they like.

The appetizer buffet includes a variety of dishes prepared with fresh local ingredients, such as “Raclette cheese with baked potato”, a dish that uses potatoes produced in the foothills of Mt. Yotei, “Wagyu beef carpaccio,” and “Marinated seabasswith fresh fruit.”

Next is the “Premium” prix fixe dinner served for guests who prefer to enjoy each dish presented elegantly by the chef. The course comprises two types of appetizers, fish dish, meat dish and dessert.

The choices for entree include seafood from Hokkaido, such as “Kegani crab with mascarpone cheese” and “Steamed oyster with seawater gelee,” and meat dishes, such as “Roasted duck with sukiyaki sauce” and “Roasted venison with mountain grape sauce.”

This course also includes sushi that uses fatty salmon, red sea bream, healthy avocado, and kobujime daikon (kelp marinated radish).

The last course is “Chef’s” tasting dinner, where dishes are not determined in advance, but rather prepared by the chef every day. Since fresh, special food ingredients are used, this course requires booking three days in advance.

We look forward to seeing you at La villa LUPICIA with the aforementioned special three dinner courses. Fully savor Niseko in winter.
