Within the
ultra-stylish multi-tiered space, combinations of
lights and shadows, food and wine, play in a magical decor of mirrors,
mosaics and flowers. Dinner is an event to be celebrated and remembered.
Exotic ingredients combine with flavourful herbs and
spices, rather than relying on heavy sauces. Pappardelle with sage-braised
rabbit in its natural juices and baby spinach with a just a whisper of
cream, grilled boneless quail with sesame marmalade, crisp noodle
cake, or chili-fried vegetables. Desserts are irresistable. Great
wine list.

SCARAMOUCHE
French Contemporary |
Soft,
subtle and decidedly romantic. From a wonderful hillside setting
overlooking the glitter of downtown, the premises is divided between the
formal restaurant and a discreet pasta bar, with its wide array of light
dishes and tender pastas. Complex tastes, skillfully
understated, seem married by nature. Fish and seafood dishes are of
particular note. Desserts are legendary. Presentation is
showcase-perfect, and the service by thorough professionals is
flawless. The carefully chosen wines represent many nations and include
a number of Grand Crus.

Bordeaux and lush Italian reds.

Splendido
is sophisticated fun. So fashionable and so pretty, with its painted
flowers and sculptured lights, chefs in painter's hats behind
a glass wall splashed with electric colours. This award winner attracts an upbeat, star-studded

with new-age toppings on crusty pizzas, or wood-roasted chicken on
sourdough bread.

pastas and risottos. Sensuous food menu and sumptuous portions--All

North American and European additions.
