The Dinner: A Four-Course Affair

The meal is a highlight in itself, thoughtfully prepared with seasonal ingredients. The menu offers two options for each course—meat or vegetarian—allowing guests to tailor their experience.

For starters, you might choose Label Rouge beef tartare with saffron aioli and chives, a dish that’s rich and flavorful, or the vegetarian watermelon carpaccio, which offers a fresh, light alternative. Both are served with saffron aioli, giving a subtle, aromatic touch that elevates the appetizer.

The soup course features Thai lemongrass soup, a fragrant broth with either fried king prawns or a herb oil variant for vegetarians. This soup adds a spicy, citrusy note that awakens the palate, setting the stage for the main course.

For the main, options include Pollo Fino—a tender baked chicken served with baked broccoli and sweet potato mash—or braised pointed cabbage with potatoes, meadow herbs, and a no-chicken butter chicken sauce. Each dish is hearty yet refined, catering to both traditional and vegetarian preferences.

Dessert is an indulgent fudgiest brownie paired with dark berries, light mousse, and salted caramel—a decadent finish that appeals to those with a sweet tooth. The vegetarian version is identical, ensuring everyone ends on a high note.
