Dark Dinner – A Sensory Experience at Sundown
Where flavour hides in the shadows…and every sense awakens.
As the sun slips beneath the horizon, the restaurant transforms into a world lit only by the soft flicker of candlelight. Shadows dance. Conversations hush. And guests step into an evening designed to heighten every sense.
Dark Dinner – A Sensory Experience invites you to surrender to the unknown and indulge in an eight‑course tasting menu where flavour, aroma, texture, and sound take centre stage. With the room cloaked in warm darkness, each dish becomes more vivid, every sip more expressive, and every moment more intimate.
This is not just dinner.
It's an encounter.
Guided by curated wine pairings selected for their harmony with each course—from bright Rocca delle Macìe Chianti with Truffle Arancini to the deep, velvety richness of Skål Amber Lager alongside charcoal‑kissed striploin—guests will explore a menu crafted to surprise, delight, and seduce the palate.
