1. Ravioli alla Veneziana
Indulge in our divine Ravioli alla Veneziana. Our handmade ravioli pillows are a labour of love, each one filled with the freshest fish of the day. The dish is elegantly completed with succulent scampi, all immersed in a vibrant cherry tomato sauce that strikes the perfect balance of sweetness and tang. This blend of flavours and textures offers a true taste of Venetian culinary artistry right at your table.
2. Duck Maryland Confit
Savour the richness of our Duck Maryland Confit. This gourmet delight features a tender duck leg, slow-cooked to perfection, resulting in a crispy, golden exterior and succulent, flavourful meat within. It’s paired with creamy Dauphinoise potatoes, providing a luxurious, velvety texture that complements the duck’s savoury notes. Fresh seasonal vegetables add a touch of brightness and crunch, while a rich Madeira jus enhances the dish with its deep, aromatic layers. Each bite is a harmonious blend of indulgence and refinement.
3. Steak Diane
Delight in our house specialty, Steak Diane. This dish showcases a tender minute steak expertly cooked to perfection in a rich, buttery sauce. Infused with the robust flavours of garlic and Worcestershire sauce, the steak is finished with a luxurious demi-glace that deepens its savoury notes. Every bite offers a blend of rich, buttery goodness with a subtle tang, creating a truly exceptional dining experience.
4. Gnocchi Gorgonzola
Savour the exquisite taste of our Gnocchi Gorgonzola. Our renowned potato dumplings are tender and pillowy, achieving a perfect balance of lightness and heartiness. Each gnocchi is enveloped in a rich, sweet Gorgonzola sauce, while a fanned pear delicately crowns the dish, adding a hint of sweetness that beautifully balances the bold, tangy cheese. The result is a harmonious blend of creamy, tangy, and fresh elements, creating a truly luxurious and satisfying culinary experience.
5. Crepe Suzette
Our Crepe Suzette is a timeless classic that embodies elegance and indulgence. Imagine thin, delicate crepes, lightly crisped to perfection, enveloped in a tangy, buttery sauce made from freshly squeezed orange juice, zesty orange zest, and a splash of Grand Marnier or Cognac. The sauce is flambéed tableside, adding dramatic flair and an intoxicating aroma that enhances the dish’s allure. Served warm, the crepes are folded and drenched in the citrusy, caramelised sauce, garnished with a sprinkle of orange zest. Each bite offers a harmonious blend of sweetness, citrus tang, and a hint of warmth from the liqueur, creating a symphony of flavours that dance on your palate.
