It’s the last week for our seasonal deconstructed pavlova: a Baby Crawford peach sits at the center, served with vanilla crème fraîche cream and meringue that’s just a little brittle on the outside and marshmallow-y on the inside, finished with a drop of olive oil and a pinch of fleur de sel 🍑

FROZEN CRÈME BRÛLÉE 🍮 A frozen vanilla bean crème brûlée finished with a crackling turbinado sugar shell. Just beneath the caramelized crust, the custard softens into a rich, creamy layer while the center remains frozen, creating a beautiful contrast of textures in each bite.

GULF PRAWNS 🦐 seasoned with piment d’Espelette and served with vadouvan aioli — a French curry — and fresh lemon.

TOASTED FARRO SALAD 🍋 Farro lightly toasted in extra virgin olive oil, then slowly cooked in vegetable stock until tender. Folded with spicy arugula treated more like an herb than a green, dressed in walnut oil with preserved lemon, za’atar, and golden raisins rehydrated in vin jaune — an oxidized French wine with deep nutty notes that mirror the walnuts throughout the dish. Finished with 18-month-aged Cravero parmesan.
