Dining
Our professional chefs come from across Europe and have worked in kitchens around the world. They each have different experiences that influence their own style and menus. In combination with this, we run our own training to teach each of them our signature menus including the Breakfast Club, Southern Soul, Lokum and our showpiece Kaiseki dining experience. The sample menus below should give you an idea of what you can expect.

WINE
For Southern Soul we wanted to select a chameleon of a wine, something which could provide refreshment from the spice of the jerk prawn rice, that also sat comfortably with the ‘big’ flavours on offer in the accompaniments. Allram Grüner Veltliner Strassertaler was the perfect selection in our eyes, there’s citrus on the nose followed by a spicy pepperiness that’s quite unique in a white wine.
A LA CARTE OPTION
You may also like to try Marquesi di Barolo Peiragal — which is one of our favourite wines from the Langhe region in northern Italy. This is an exquisite example of Barbera d’Alba, a grape full of fruity freshness. 30 EUR
Lokum is our Middle Eastern menu. The flavours are vibrant and bold, infused with the freshness of green herbs. Sharing platters are created to be enjoyed all together, in the Middle Eastern tradition.
CANAPES
Toasted flatbreads with hummus and beetroot, yoghurt & za’atar or baba ganoush dips
MAIN COURSE
Harissa & rose salmon with beetroot & orange salsa
Herb & ricotta pie (V)
Green herb & feta couscous
Fattoush
DESSERT
Roast pineapple with coconut & cardamom panna cotta, mango, chili & mint salsa and candied pistachios
WINE
We have chosen a local wine — Quenard Chignin — which is produced on the hills around Chambery. This is wonderfully balanced wine which has a depth of flavour to stand up to the harissa without being so heavy as to sit uncomfortably with the salmon. A subtle sweetness also serves to compliment the orange salsa which is why we think it is a match made in heaven.
A LA CARTE OPTION
You may also like to try Domaine des 2 Roches Pouilly-Fuissé — a classic Chardonnay from southern Burgundy. This has a beautiful richness of creamy, buttery flavours that can’t fail to work with fish. 31 EUR
(V = Vegetarian, GF = Gluten Free, DF = Dairy Free)
