DARK CHOCOLATE CREMEUX: 1 ELEMENT OF 1 DESSERT | Desserts should be interesting, not just delicious, and this means multiple components, each thoughtfully conceived and executed.
Here’s an example from Beau's pastry chef Caitlin Drake. Our steamed honey cake dessert rests alongside a base of dark chocolate cremeux, made from fruit-forward Callebaut 67% chocolate which originates from Madagascar. The light, sweet and swirly layer gets a salty sprinkle of malty crunchy popped brown and white rice, sorghum and buckwheat.

BALANCE | The endgame is balance: softness v crunch, subtlety v heat, smokiness v aromatic.
Berbere – a fragrant spice blend that Ivor has long wanted to explore -- sets the tone for our new beef tartare. We sear the meat over the fire, chop it by hand and season it with Berbere emulsion. Topped with a coriander cashew pesto and fresh avocado, and accented with smoked tomato dashi jellies, it’s ready to scoop up with steamed honey butter-basted buns, topped with crunchy bits of popcorn and puffed rice.

ABOUT WINE PAIRING | There’s so much more to it than white with fish, red with meat. Whenever a new dish comes on the menu, Ivor and Imke sit down together and taste their way through it. Bite by bite, paired with a half dozen or more wines, if necessary. Taking their time until they find the right one. A lot of thought goes into the wine pairing option that complements our set menus. It’s really the best possible food and wine experience we can build.

WASTE NOT WANT NOT | Using pears two ways on our chargrilled venison loin dish makes the most out of an autumn favourite. Adding to a twist on the traditional pear and chestnut combo are these sweet little maple caramelised pears, and the remaining offcuts become a smooth pear purée.
