The restaurant is run by chef proprietor Simon Rogan, recently, it has been gleaning praise from culinary circles around the globe. Rogan’s dictum is, “Forever restless I am looking for tastes, textures and fragrances, visual presentations to stun with a little bit of humour added. To reduce dairy products and to eliminate heavy meat based stocks and sauces, instead letting the subtle herbs, roots and flowers take control”. This is one restaurant to keep your eye on in the future . . . its going places on the fast track! C. C.
