The Experience
From Michelin Guide
The concept is ‘conversations between ingredients’. Pairings of complementary ingredients include Pacific saury with tomatoes, potatoes with cheese and duck with figs. The signature dish of caviar, squid and aubergine brings out a unique flavour profile through the contrast of salt and sweet. The numbers of ingredients on each plate are kept to a minimum, so patrons retain a clear impression of what they ate.
