Oxtail Croquettes

Described as 'perfect orbs' and a 'classy opener', these contain strands of long-braised meat that critics claim they would happily clear an entire tray of.

Start with

Confit Garlic & Goat's Curd

A length of sourdough sourdough toast 'slathered' in curd and olive oil, served with a confit bulb of garlic providing 'soft, translucent pearls' to smear over the bread.

Start with

Alpine toasted cheese

The ultimate melted, comforting classic supplied by the editor as the absolute must-order item.

Start with

Truffle-cream gougères

Described as 'absolutely, extraordinarily wonderful' and 'silky smooth,' these warm snacks pack a heady truffle punch and are topped with shaved Comté.

Start with

Seasonal Terrine

A staple of the Alsatian-inspired menu, these are described as 'packed with flavour' and highlight the kitchen's focus on 'simple' and 'ingredient-led' cooking.
