It offers a modern European take on classic cosmopolitan dishes using premium ingredients to create culinary indulgences.

The recommended dish is the Beignets de Crabe ($20). These appetizing crab cakes are handmade with an array of Mediterranean flavours, shaped and pan-fried until crisp.
Another special highlight which I discovered after re-visiting was the Chef’s “Omakase”, priced at a super wallet-friendly $38++ only.
The 5-course meal for me includes tasting portions of Foie Gras, Porcini Cappuccino, Sous Vide “Chicken”, Joue De Boeuf, and Dessert of the Day – which was Crème Brulee made in-house. Note: Items rotate regularly.
