Patience brings the deepest flavours. 🌿

Our twelve hour braised oxtail is a celebration of slow winter craftsmanship. Perfectly complemented by smooth potato crema, a rich red wine reduction, crispy potato wafers, and the bright crunch of sweet cucumber with herb oil, it is the ultimate cold weather luxury.
