Shortly after we had been seated, we had been served with this trio of Snacks – cod fish croquettes topped with uni, foie gras on toast and artichokes. Subsequent, we had been served with complimentary bread Rye Sourdough and Beef Tallow-Herbs Brioche. We extremely advocate that you’ve each the breads, even if you’re not a carb lover or are rationing your energy. The previous is served with french caviar butter which provides a barely salty profile however elevates the flavour. The latter is nice by itself and could be very addictive. Each breads had been served heat.The primary dish is that this chilled Obsiblue Prawn. Shellfish (from France) is first minced then mixed with banana shallots and pickled apples earlier than being rolled inside the creamy avocado slices and topped with prawn cream and nutty Polanco Siberian Grand Cru caviar.

The attention-grabbing accompaniment was a banana shallot full of beef mousse and pickled mustard seeds.Dessert was the Yuzu meringue with sorbet and chia seed jelly. It was a great palate cleanser after the wealthy dishes previous this however the yuzu sorbet may be just a little bitter for these with low tolerance for bitter meals.
