Recommendation

The Gastronomic Quartet

In this culinary ballad, a lobster tail dances with shirimp espuma
and shrimp chips, while the beet sponge provides an earthy
tone. The Granny Smith apple cream refreshes every flavor note, while the Cuttlefish Ink chips provide a mysterious depth. All of this is rounded by a fish demi-glace sauce, creating a perfect harmony on the plate.
