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 five‑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.
The evening unfolds as follows:
Five Courses. Five Pairings. One Unforgettable Night.
1ST Course
Arancini
Mushroom | Truffle | Arborio | Tomato | Basil
Cocktail Pairing: Dubonnet Aperitif
Ruby garnet red with orange tint in colour; floral, sweet, dried cherry and plum with nutmeg and citrus aroma and flavor with a citrus finish. A pre-dinner drink meant to stimulate the appetite.
2ND Course
Shrimp in Three Textures
Leek | Carrot | Ginger | Panko | Shrimp
Cocktail Pairing: Casillero del Diablo Reserva Sauvignon Blanc
Citrus fruit and peach with light herbal notes. Fresh and gentle acidity and a medium-bodied mouthfeel. This cool, coastal Sauvignon Blanc Reserva reveals pronounced aromas and flavors of citrus fruit and peach with light herbal notes
3RD Course

Cocktail Pairing: Gin & Tonic
The Tanqueray Gin & Tonic with fresh lime is a crisp, refreshing highball that highlights classic London Dry gin botanicals—primarily juniper, citrus, and subtle spice. Built simply with quality tonic and finished with a lime wedge, it delivers a clean, bright, and slightly bitter profile.
4TH Course
Beef & Spaghetti
Striploin | Charcoal | Amarillo | Peruvian Pesto | Black Pepper Casarecce
Cocktail Pairing: Tarapacá Gran Reserva Carménère
A fresh and floral expression of carménère brought from the grips of a Maipo Valley. Violets and spicy dill, cloves, black pepper and vanilla. Well-balanced. Fine, smooth and elegant tannins. Long, pleasant finish.
5TH Course
Chocolate & Toffee
Chocolate | Cake | Avocado | Orange | Cream | Sponge Toffee
Cocktail Pairing: Ruffino Prosecco Rosé
A crisp, off-dry sparkling wine that offers alluring flavors of strawberry and rose petals, with delicate hints of red berries and white fruits that linger through the finish.
Throughout the night, the atmosphere deepens with the hauntingly elegant sounds music, weaving a musical thread through the darkness and amplifying the mystery of the experience.
