Creating an immersive, magical gastronomic multisensory experience that is incomparable.​ Our North London studio is fully equipped with a projection mapped table, surround sound and colour changing lighting, all of which are designed to complement our delicious menu and enhance the sensory immersive experience.
EXTERNAL EVENTS We also work with partner venues around London to recreate our experience, based on your group size and requirements. Contact us for more details.
Led by experimental Chef Jozef Youssef, our team work in collaboration with leading scientists, psychologists and artists to push the boundaries of gastronomy.
Creatively applying the results to our innovative, fun and magical multisensory chef’s table experience in North London​.

DISCIPLINARY
CROSS
Our experimental
tasting menu explores a broad variety of interesting ingredients, flavours, textures, and culinary techniques yet at their core, these dishes are simply delicious ingredients paired with beautiful wines and exciting cocktails. ​
INSPIRATION Drawing inspiration from Chef Jozef’s experience in some of London’s top Michelin Star restaurants as well as his travels across the world, the menu is peppered with references to classic European techniques along with Japanese and Mexican influences.

Dinner is a somewhat reductive name for what was an extraordinary evening.
