Med Flavors

An alluring space with a long wooden table that takes centre stage, this elegant establishment boasts a classy and intimate feel. Authentic Italian cuisine arrived at our table tastefully presented in a Japanese Zen style, with custom made plates and cutlery to match. We began with antipasti that sultry summers cry out for; Smoked Beef Carpaccio with Black Truffle, Shaved Parmesan Cheese, Rocket and Lemon Dressing RMB78, and Tavola Antipasti Platter RMB128 - generous portions of quality cheese, salami, olives and proscuitto, a spread of zesty taste and color, sufficient to hold anyone with a short attention span. We plunged straight into our main courses; a very flavorsome Braised Lamb Shank in Barolo Red Wine Sauce with meat pink and tender as a baby, served with Mashed Potato and Confit of Garlic RMB138, fresh Grilled Sea-Bass Fillet with Roasted Cherry Tomato, Fried Zucchini and infused mint oil RMB138, a delightful hint of mint aftertaste and finally a large plate of Grilled Seafood Skewer with assorted seasonal vegetables (King prawn, Salmon, Snapper, Sea bass) RMB198 enough to feed a family. Although we were filled to the brim, we couldn’t resist the homemade Gelati e Sorbetti RMB88 presented in little square ceramic containers reminding us of a colorful paint palette, including our favorite, a secret recipe of olive oil and strawberry fruit mix.
