Food

The menu is based on French classics (foie gras, rack of lamb, chateaubriand), but presentation and accompaniments are constantly being updated, without distracting from the quality of the ingredients or cooking. Simple salad is taken into a new dimension by Iberico ham on a bread pillow that magically seeps with rosemary-scented smoke. Even humble vegetable soup becomes a piece of eye candy, bright cerise and yellow swirls studded with truffle. Tender sous-vide wagyu striploin is enhanced by three similarly vibrant sauces, and the mushrooms accompanying ravishing Brittany turbot are dotted with gold, like something from Lewis Carroll. Desserts-try the intense chocolate tart-maintain the air of wonder, decorated with swirled sauces that resemble Victorian wallpaper. Simply extraordinary. Mandarin
