• Mussel Tempura – Elevated with parsley and a delicate marinière velouté, offering a modern twist on a classic coastal delight.
• Foie Gras Cheesecake – A decadent harmony of foie gras, strawberry, pistachio, yogurt, and a whisper of 8-spice — both indulgent and unforgettable.
• Toothfish à la Viennoise – Perfectly prepared toothfish accompanied by white bean, fennel purée, and a fragrant pastis emulsion.
• Olive Oil Sorbet – A refreshing interlude with notes of yuzu, thyme, and gin — crisp, herbaceous, and utterly unique.
