Start light with chargrilled citrus and burrata drizzled in coriander lavender honey, or our aged beef tartare with tonnato and crispy shallots. Then go big with the Porcini Fillet on the Bone, finished with truffle butter and beef jus, or keep it coastal with grilled crayfish in sofrito cream and tagliatelle with mussels in a saffron broth. 

And for the ones who know: the Steak au Poivre Wagyu Burger.

Whole Grilled Baby Kingklip drenched in green olives and banga rossa. A Tomato & Parmesan-Crusted Ribeye stacked with burrata and yesterday's breadcrumbs. Porcini Carpaccio finished in truffle and citrus cream. Squid Fritti with a spicy bomba kick.

Salmon Crudo with labneh, sumac and chilli. Grilled Chorizo & Prawn with romesco and zhoug. A Spiced Lamb Pasta that brings the heat with yoghurt, chilli and feta. And the Ribeye & Prawn doesn’t hold back, garlic, chilli, harissa butter, all in one plate.
