A familiar Caesar, made a little heartier. Kale brings an earthy bite and plenty of texture, coated in a creamy Caesar dressing with savoury depth, a touch of tang and the richness of Parmesan. It’s fresh yet comforting — the kind of salad that feels homemade, generous and satisfying from the first forkful to the last.

Cut into our Momotaro Tomato and the filling comes into view — sweet crab meat, accompanied by peach and mint, tucked inside the tomato.

Juicy, cooling and lightly briny, with each ingredient bringing a different layer to the plate.

Our Wagyu Beef Picanha is cut tagliata-style and served with shiitake mushroom sauce. Succulent slices of beef meet the mushrooms’ deep, woodsy character, leaving a full-bodied finish on the palate. Made for the part of the meal when something substantial feels right.

Born from the tradition of making the most of every ingredient, Pasta Mista is a beloved Southern Italian dish featuring a mix of different pasta shapes, each bringing its own texture and character to the plate.

Our take pairs this artisanal pasta medley with a spicy salmon and capers ragù, where the richness of the salmon is lifted by the bright, briny notes of capers. Every spoonful offers a little something different, making each bite as comforting as it is satisfying.

Our juicy Momotaro Tomato holds a generous filling of crab meat, peach and mint, balancing sweetness, brininess and a fresh herbal finish. A refreshing plate with enough contrast to keep every bite interesting.

A few final touches, and our Shima Aji Tartare is ready for the table.

Silky shima aji, lively Thai orange vinaigrette and the delicate crunch of squid ink tuile come together in a fresh, savoury bite. Worth catching before it leaves our specials menu.
