How we cook over a live fire: the philosophy of open flame

Fire is not just a way of cooking — it's the character of Vesta's kitchen. Every grilled dish gets its smoky accent, and the vegetables and meat get a crust you can't replicate on an ordinary pan.

Temperature and moisture

We work with different kinds of wood — from fruit to oak. Each gives its own aroma and burning temperature. Time and distance to the coals decide whether a dish is juicy inside or richly crusted.

“We don't hide the fire — it makes the food honest and the dinner special.”

That's why the open kitchen in the hall isn't just a show. Guests see the process, smell the smoke and feel the warmth of the fire. It's part of the Vesta experience worth coming back for.
