What to Order
Tasting Menu
This is the primary and highly recommended dining experience, offering a multi-course journey through the chefs' creative and refined dishes.
"The tasting menu was amazing here. I'll be thinking about the French toast for many years to come. All the dishes were so unique and we had lots to talk about with how complex they all were."
Lucas Manou
French Toast
A surprisingly savory-sweet and elevated dish, often featuring chicken liver mousse, that leaves a lasting impression.
"The French Toast is lights out, no if ands or buts"
Steven Cannataro
Mikandai
This dish is a standout for its complex flavors and ability to set the tone for the entire tasting menu experience.
"The food was stunning from start to finish, but the dish I can’t stop thinking about was the Mikandai. It set the tone for the whole menu and ended up being my favourite bite of the night."
Vee Mationg
Marble Cheung Fun
A visually striking and flavorful rice roll dish, often presented in black and white, filled with ingredients like roast duck and a sesame and peanut emulsion.
"Another standout was the marble cheung fun (rice roll). It came out in colours of black and white (yin and yang) and filled with roast duck, chutney, and sesame and peanut emulsion. Divine!"
Chloe Ip
Turbot with Yunnan Sour Soup
A perfectly prepared fish dish, often served with a flavorful and unique Yunnan sour soup.
"We were especially wowed by the marble cheung fun, the turbot with the yunnan sour soup, and the squash dessert which perfectly captured all the cozy fall “pumpkin spice” flavours."
Bethany Ince
Miso Cheesecake
A unique and delicious dessert that balances savory miso with the sweetness of cheesecake, even appealing to those who aren't typically dessert fans.
"Also had the most delicious dessert Miso cheesecake I am not a sweet tooth but that must be tried. Will be back again for a special occasion for the full tasting menu!"
Paige Webster
Wine Pairings
Thoughtfully selected wines that complement each course of the tasting menu, enhancing the overall dining experience.
"I chose the wine pairings option and glad I did. While I'm not a wine person, I found the choices to be very thoughtful: accessible for casual palates like mine but perhaps enjoyable by more discerning ones as well."
