Menu

  • Mystery
  • Past

 

Dining in the dark is not just simply dining, but rather a unique mind-altering experience where smell, taste, touch and hearing unite, to bring you a completely new journey of the senses

Both menus have three courses; a starter, a main and a dessert
with a variety of dishes per course. To enhance the experience, we do recommend taking the same menu,so you can discuss together what you think the ingredients are.

Our menus do not feature so to say strange ingredients, you may not be familiar with some, however that does not mean it is strange. We do not give away anything at all, just try for yourself!

 

 

 

The mystery of tasting menu is a creative combination of unique ingredients and flavours from Vietnamese, Asian cuisines and the rest of the world.
