Atlantic Scallops follow with sweetcorn velouté, charred baby corn and citrus beurre blanc. The fourth course brings together Confit Duck & Mushroom Raviolo, shimeji mushrooms and foie royal velouté.
A Champagne Sorbet with lemongrass foam provides the fifth course before the menu moves into its meat course, Blackened Lamb Loin with potato pavé, celeriac purée, oyster mushroom and jus.
The seventh course changes pace again with Gruberg 12 Month Mature, which is 18-hour cold oak smoked and served with compressed pear.
For dessert, Blackberry Semifreddo combines chocolate almond sponge, raspberry broth and chocolate tuile. The ninth and final course is Bon Bon, featuring mango macaron and nougat.
