As for the cuisine, Chef de cuisine Frederic Chabbert, who honed his skills in Michelin-starred restaurants throughout France, London and Monaco before settling in Asia, has created a menu worthy of a one-star from Michelin with signature dishes including Petrus vol au vent of crayfish and frog's legs with black truffle (crayfish cooked in lobster sauce), David Herve's "Royal Cabanon" oysters scallop in a warm nage and Cassolette of snails Burgundy style served with Poulette sauce with fresh herbs.
