Forging their own path
At the small restaurant Malva, there is a deep and genuine passion for every aspect of gastronomy. A curiosity and commitment to learning spans everything from soil types and farming practices to ingredients and cooking techniques. The atmosphere is simple and unpretentious, yet the food is bold and thought-provoking. Remaining closed on weekends is a matter of principle for the owners—everything centers around balance and quality of life for the team.
