Fasting season tends to quiet things down; not just in what we eat, but in how we eat. It’s a time for simplicity, yes, but also for paying closer attention – to flavours, to where things come from, to how they make us feel. At Roe + Bone, we don’t see fasting as a limitation, we see it as a reset. A chance to lean into ingredients that speak for themselves, without too much fuss. The sea, in particular, gives us everything we need.
Oysters, for example. Cold, clean, with that hit of salt that reminds you how close we are to the water. There’s something special about them this time of year, a reminder that minimal can still be memorable. Our grilled calamari follows the same philosophy; charred just enough, laid over a smooth tarama and brightened with lemon. No butter, no dairy – just honest flavours that don’t need dressing up. And while seafood carries a lot of the weight during fasting season, the rest of the menu holds its own. Our Modern Greek Salad works beautifully without the feta – crisp, juicy, refreshing. The beetroot salad, full of lentils, apple, and caramelised walnuts, still hits every note even without the cheese. Even the asparagus risotto, usually rich and creamy, can be softened into something lighter, just as comforting, just as considered.
We know that everyone fasts a little differently. Some follow the full tradition, others simply want to eat cleaner, more mindfully. However you approach it, our kitchen is here for it. Thoughtful food. Seasonal ingredients. A bit of care.
