The menu features Ryu Signature White Fish with Truffle Caviar & Truffle paired with Martell Cordon Bleu, renowned for its deep golden copper colour and vibrant aromas of orchard fruit, mocha, and spices. Its rounded, mellow taste with a long finish of fruit and spice notes perfectly complements the dish’s sophisticated flavours.

Park Grill: A Glimpse into the Gatsby Era
Park Grill transports guests back in time to the Gatsby era, where jazz music fills the air and the nostalgia and opulence of the Roaring Twenties come alive. Against this backdrop of 1920s glamour, the centrepiece of this leg of the journey is the tasting of Chivas Regal’s ultra-prestige blended scotch whiskies paired with Park Grill’s culinary feasts.
The Chivas 18‘s multi-layered aroma with notes of dried fruits, buttery toffee, and dark chocolate is a velvety complement to the rich and robust Tomahawk steak. Meanwhile, the Chivas Ultis 20, a blend of five precious single malts aged for at least 20 years, presents a rich and complex nose of citrus, spice, and malt, with a refined, smooth palate that pairs exquisitely with the delicate flavours of the Spanish Octopus and the sweetness of the Pain Perdu.
