Mediterranean Cuisine
The Michelin Guide's review
Housed in a lovingly restored and converted printing house that dates back centuries, this restaurant is run by a well-coordinated team including head chef Flavio Fermi and maître d' Roland Tischhauser. In a remarkably chic and tastefully designed setting, you can expect a modern take on Mediterranean cuisine that draws on international influences. Tuscan fish soup with chopped tender giant prawns, for instance, is given a harmonious Asian twist by incorporating shiitake mushrooms. The "Fauna" set menu comprises four, six or eight courses – the vegetarian alternative, "Flora", is available by prior arrangement. Opt for the judicious wine pairings or choose from the extensive wine list, which includes a fine selection of champagnes. The stylish bar area is the perfect spot for a nightcap. There is also a pretty courtyard terrace.
