Unprocessed Food
At AZUR, we believe that taste begins with unprocessed foods. Meaning, fresh ingredients that are seasonal. The availability of product drives the menus, hence, we must change the menu several times a year to accommodate locally grown items. Our freezer is one of the smallest pieces of equipment in the kitchen, in fact, your home refrigerator is larger. Since we do not freeze vegetables, fruits, etc., we will run out of items and must temporary discontinue offering a particular entree for the day. AZUR views this as a positive sign because it shows that our guests also recognized the quality of the product in terms of taste.
