Amid a retro, chic setting diners can relax and indulge in sharing dishes, similarly to a typical family feast. Simple creations and fresh ingredients is Executive Chef, Alexandre Nicolas’ secret to great cuisine. He has spent more than 10 years under the guidance of Alain Ducasse who both share an undeniable passion for ‘Las Cuisine du Soleil’ – the cuisine of the sun.
The menu offers an array of colorful dishes with vegetables taking center stage, particularly for the starters, guaranteeing palates a variety of textures and flavors.
Alexandre puts a bespoke twist on this beautiful cuisine by incorporating his own personal trademark of fresh condiments, bursting with pure, unique flavors which he seeks through visiting local markets.
