Dishes Sampled
First things first, we kicked off with one of the many intriguing cocktails to whet our appetites. The Cosmopolitan was pleasingly fresh with citrus and berry undertones, not too sweet and did the job superbly. Going classic to start, we opted for Lobster Bisque and Chicken Liver Parfait. Both rated top marks; the bisque had amazing depth of flavor and we loved the chunks of lobster, mussels and huge prawns. The Chicken Liver Parfait was as authentic as it comes, with just the right amount of toast for smearing with the rich, creamy mousse. Both were quite filling, but we opted to try the Smoked Salmon and Crab Cream Flatbread nonetheless. A great decision, as it was addictively more-ish. The piquant capers gave just the right balance against the creaminess of the crab and the exquisitely fresh smoked salmon.
Venturing further, we decided on the Truffle Tenderloin Steak and Salmon and Curry Coconut Cream. The generous cut of tenderloin was cooked exactly as requested, wonderfully tender, and came with a sizable portion of truffle-infused gnocchi. The salmon was pink, moist and flaky, and came bathed in a creamy coconut sauce with just a waft of curry to enhance it. With white basmati rice to mop up the sauce, it was surprisingly filling. Not really planning for dessert, as we had dined a little too well, we were still persuaded to share a portion of Tahini Chocolate and Pistachio Cheesecake. Rich and decadent, immaculately presented, it was everything promised and more. The meal throughout had met the most exacting standards, and left us in awe. Chapeau to Chef Marwa and her skillful team!
