About the menu, Jonny Lake said: “Isa and I have travelled extensively and are always inspired by the extraordinary culinary history and international diversity around us.” 

“We also share a passion for the creative process where we start with a simple idea and then explore countless flavour and texture combinations until it evolves into something new."
