What delights await on the plate? For seafood enthusiasts, the journey begins with delicacies like thinly sliced langoustine, paired with an iodized seaweed checkerboard, avocado, and citrus passion fruit purée. Those who prefer warm, velvety textures will find solace in a comforting butternut velouté, infused with finely minced black garlic and topped with a dollop of freshly whipped crème fraîche. Adventurous diners might opt for the Tempura tandoori frogs’ legs, complemented by roasted cauliflower sweetness, lemon tapenade, and graffiti cauliflower pickles.

A Feast of Savory Delights

Moving on to the main courses, Chef Robe’s celebrated duck pie takes center stage, a rich and indulgent homage to his English roots. For those with a penchant for classic French dishes, options include tender veal, perfectly cooked cod, succulent lamb, and a creamy, dreamy risotto.
