To start

Cured Trout, Sea-Inspired Salad, Hung Yoghurt

Miami is an ocean city with incredible seafood and global variety. This dish uses fresh sea trout, gently cured and warmed to 50°C — just enough to soften the fats without cooking, leaving it silky and rich. It’s served with a grilled salad of cucumber, sea herbs, pine nuts, and dill oil. Light and refreshing, it’s all about letting the simple, clean flavours shine.

The Main

Pan-Roasted Chicken with Parmesan Gnocchi

This dish makes the most of early summer produce, with asparagus coming into season from late April. Chicken can sometimes be seen as a plain option, but when done right - and paired with sage and black truffle - it can become a memorable dish. A proper crowd-pleaser.

To Finish

Salted Caramel Tart

Rich, decadent, and just the right amount of refined. A smooth port and caramel filling, set in a crisp almond tart shell, topped with fresh cherries, toasted almonds, and a spoon of crème fraîche.

Sweet Treats

Whether you’re a dessert lover or usually lean toward savoury, there’s something undeniably irresistible about a sweet course at the end of a meal. It’s that final flourish — the thing that makes your mouth water, even when you thought you couldn’t eat another bite. From rich, indulgent tarts to fresh, vibrant plates with a hint of sugar and spice, these dishes are designed to leave a lasting impression.
