Rare Mushrooms Series
Third Kingdom’s Rare Mushrooms Series celebrates some of the world’s most elusive and extraordinary fungi through innovative tasting menus crafted by Chef Juan Pajarito.
Wild Black Trumpet Dinner
On February 24, Third Kingdom continues its Rare Mushrooms Series with an immersive five-course Wild Black Trumpet Tasting Menu devoted entirely to this extraordinary mushroom.
Winter Chanterelles Dinner
For a brief moment each winter, chanterelles appear — luminous, fragrant, and fleeting. On February 2, Third Kingdom continues its Rare Mushrooms Series with an immersive five-course Winter Chanterelle Tasting Menu honoring this narrow seasonal window. Seats are limited, ingredients are finite, and the menu will not repeat.
Matsutake Dinner: Nightmare of the Underwood
On Monday, October 27, we invite you to experience Matsutake: Nightmare of the Underwood — a five-course tasting dinner celebrating one of the world’s rarest and most storied mushrooms.
The Matsutake grows only in symbiosis with pine trees and cannot be cultivated, appearing for just a few fleeting weeks each autumn. Prized in Japan for its sharp pine aroma, earthy spice, and delicate texture, it’s a symbol of purity, seasonality, and good fortune. Ours are sourced from Tivoli Mushrooms, harvested at the height of their short-lived season.
