Hello Fall: Welcoming Autumn Flavors at Montrio

The arrival of fall in Monterey doesn't bring sudden cold fronts or golden leaves overnight -- but it does usher in a seasonal shift that's felt most deeply at the table. At Montrio, autumn is one of our favorite times to cook. The produce changes, the proteins deepen in flavor, and the energy in the kitchen shifts toward warmth and comfort.

The Flavors of Monterey in Fall

• Heirloom squash and root vegetables from local farms
• Wild mushrooms foraged from nearby forests
• Late-harvest greens with deeper, more complex flavors
• Stone fruit giving way to apples, pears, and figs

These ingredients inspire a menu that balances comfort with creativity.

Autumn Dishes to Look Forward To

• Braised short ribs with roasted root vegetables
• Wild mushroom risotto
• Pan-seared salmon with fall vegetables
• Seasonal salads with apples, nuts, and local cheeses

Warming Drinks for Cool Evenings

Our bar program embraces fall with warm-spiced cocktails, full-bodied wines, and seasonal ingredients that complement the kitchen's direction.
