A pretty innovative dish with rich and creamy foie gras in the ravioli. The ravioli posessed a very robust flavor so it didn't need a heavy sauce that dominates – let the ravioli do the talking!

Coffee roasted confit of Duck Port Cardomom sauce and Pear Potato Ragout
The duck was soft with a zesty coffee taste

Although, the dishes were well executed, but the menu sounded more exciting than what was actually presented on the plate. The portions were a bit small but still a great choice if you want to chill in this intimate trendy atmosphere with suede banquettes.
