Prompt good conversations with The Yards x The School of Life

The Capturist were excited to be invited to the new food collaboration between The Yards, Miscusi and the School of Life. The concept is simple: choose a conversation menu according to your dining partner: date, family or friend and pre-order your food from the Italian-inspired menu to ensure you focus on your dining companion for the evening. Dishes include bruschetta, pasta and classic Italian desserts Tiramisu and Profiteroles.

The School of Life have designed brilliant conversation starters to accompany each course, prompting questions to make you think and delve deeper than “How’s work” or “Where are you going on holiday this year?”. Usually, when we dine out, the room goes quiet once the food arrives but when dining at Miscusi, each table was alive with conversations and laughter as everyone worked through the questions.

Choosing the friends menu, we contemplated questions about ourselves and our friendship whilst sharing the trio of bruschetta and chatting to the neighbouring table.

We enjoyed the main courses of spaghetti carbonara and mushroom and pistachio casarecci while delving deeper into our emotional life skills and how we’d like to improve ourselves. Our desserts were Tiramisu and a Chocolate Profiterole which disappeared very quickly as we discussed loneliness and appreciation!

All in all it was a thought-provoking evening and the concept is definitely a clever one.
