Cantaloupe

From its moodily lit entrance to the quiet dining hall, the restaurant sets the tone for an intimate dining experience. Perfect for private trysts and celebrations, Cantaloupe’s wide space and clever table positioning creates a sense of space and privacy. The current fivecourse seasonal menu strikes a balance between the contemporary and the classic. There are hits like Poached Lobster, Lobster Aspic and Caviar on potato blini and a sharp Gorgonzola Ravioli grounded by roasted beetroot, onion ceviche, and candied hazelnuts drizzled with olive oil with a honey emulsion. Hearty, classic proteins are featured in dishes such as tea-smoked salmon in a sorrel lemon butter sauce and seared beef pavé served with oyster sauce, deep-fried oyster mushrooms and candied starfruit. For dessert, locally grown Chitose strawberries served two ways – as is and as an ice cream – take the spotlight. For that easy date night win, Cantaloupe fits the bill.
