Tasting menus, also known as degustation menus, evolved from classical French cuisine's service 'à la Russe,' where dishes were presented in courses rather than all at once. They gained popularity in the late 20th century as chefs sought to showcase their creativity and culinary skills, offering a curated journey through flavors and textures.

The flavors in a tasting menu are highly variable and depend entirely on the chef's vision and the restaurant's concept. The intention is to provide a balance of flavors and textures, often progressing from light and delicate to richer and more intense.
Given the dish's nature as a 'sampler' of various flavors and ingredients, describing the flavor details is impossible without knowing the specific menu. However, expect a wide range of tastes: sweet, sour, salty, bitter, umami. Common ingredients could include seafood, meats (beef, pork, lamb, poultry), vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, and diverse sauces and reductions.
