🔥 Highlights
- World-Class Wine Program: Recently opened by the acclaimed Popal Group, this destination features an ambitious cellar of over 1,000 labels with a focus on organic and biodynamic vintages.
- Chef-Driven French Fare: Beyond the wine, the kitchen serves elevated classics like brioche-stuffed roast chicken, monkfish with crispy capers, and their "must-order" warm bread and butter.
- Artful Attention to Detail: From the custom-logo wine glasses to the high-end Le Labo products in the downstairs lounge, every inch of the three-story venue is meticulously curated for a luxury experience.
ℹ️ Need to Know
