TATLER TIPS
Begin with the Sunday Salad, which features mesclun, green peas, and grilled asparagus topped by a poached egg and lemon vinaigrette. The perennial favourite that commands a loyal following is the crab fat yakisoba, which is a savoury, seasonal speciality best paired with a glass of Chardonnay. Another hearty seafood choice are Bamba’s grilled prawns on roasted tomato risotto. The dish is perfectly glazed by a
and balsamic reduction. While the pasta selection is pleasantly varied, the three mushroom raviolo stands out with its caramelised onions that coat the velvety texture of the foie gras cream sauce.
