Book NowAbout Monal Dining
A candlelit terrace on Skyring Terrace serving an inventive banquet that pulls no punches. Snag an open-air table for instant date-night pull, then let the kitchen work. Regulars lean straight into the multi-course spread—an easy pick when you want cross-continental flavours without the fuss. Raw dishes set the tone early, matching tuna tartare against fried potato and bottarga. Then the heavyweight arrives: lemon molasses glazed chicken resting in a savoury curry sauce, flanked by charred greens and wagyu intercostals with smoked labneh. Front-of-house staff glide through the room, pouring paired wines and clearing plates with clockwork timing. For the finish, crisp fried bread and butter pudding anchors the table without tipping into excess sweetness.
