Not to be missed! The lamb shoulder is having its final run before the new menu drops. Slow cooked, sticky chilli yakiniku glaze, bright sansho gremolata. You’ve been warned.

Last chance. Reserve your table.

Layers upon layers. Dark chocolate cremeux, Calpis ice cream and a miso tuile that shatters the second your spoon lands. Rich, cold, salty and sweet in the same bite.
