Inspiration

The restaurant Le Nabi at MCBA offers an innovative concept, blending artistic and culinary cultures, with a gastronomic experience centered on healthy, aesthetically pleasing, and ethically sourced cuisine.

During the week, we serve a variety of dishes suitable for both children and adults, along with a vegetarian daily special from Tuesday to Friday. On Sundays, guests can enjoy brunch in a warm and inviting setting, whether with family, friends, or alone.

With a commitment to fresh, high-quality ingredients, our cuisine sources products from local artisans and farmers. We prioritize seasonal produce, organic practices, fair trade, and reducing excess packaging. Collaborating closely with regional producers, we create dishes that reflect their harvests, telling an authentic story rooted in the land. Farmers, restaurateurs, and consumers: together, we weave the fabric of a vibrant, living community.

Our cuisine is inspired by the creative freedom of the avant-garde Nabi art movement. ‘Nabi’ also means ‘prophet’ in Hebrew, the bearer of new ideas. This free-spirited approach drives us to innovate and enrich life with beauty
