cocktails & highballs
inspired by the japanese word "taru" (meaning barrel) and the finnish word "myth," our bar celebrates craftsmanship, precision, and creativity.
we craft highballs and cocktails with an emphasis on simplicity, yet with exciting and carefully balanced flavors that are as memorable as they are delicious. we work exclusively with seasonal, hand-selected ingredients, which means our menu changes every month to ensure freshness and innovation.
recognized as the Best New Cocktail Bar of 2022 by Entree Magazine.

coffee
at TARU, we are always learning and evolving. after being introduced to— and inspired by — the diversity of coffee, we decided to make it our own.
we want TARU to be a destination for coffee enthusiasts who are eager to experience new flavors, as well as for guests who simply want an amazing cup. therefore, we've partnered with our friends at badeta to bring you personally selected, high-quality coffee. we also offer a range of carefully selected teas.
pair your coffee with one of the fresh cakes made by our chef, whether you’re looking for a morning pick-me-up or a relaxing afternoon filter brew.
dinner
from thursday through sunday, TARU offers a creative and exciting dining concept. under the guidance of chef safae, we present a modern menu—paired with our drinks—featuring japanese tapas with a scandinavian twist. using locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, chef safae crafts dishes that highlight her refined palate and creative touch, blending subtle flavors and textures in innovative ways.
menu
the current menu includes à la carte options as well as 4- and 5-course menu options. We recommend pairing the dishes with our (non-alcoholic) drink pairing menu for the full culinary experience.
