Nicolas Misera’s motto, “An artist’s life”, was far from a random choice, as you will quickly realise when you cross the threshold of this à la carte restaurant. Art forms the backbone of the establishment which is a stylish blend of purity and design. An open-plan kitchen and a counter dominate the interior, offering an intriguing insight into the chef’s virtuosity.
His personal take on classical recipes, with a weakness for fish and shellfish, is founded on consummate talent. Knockout sauces, high-precision cooking and originality set the fascinating scene between the city and North Sea. Start with a warm brioche, covered in ham shank, lobster and parmesan, a tribute to Misera’s father and one of the establishment’s signature dishes. He endeavours to tell a personal story and transport you to his universe with each dish. A vol-au-vent stuffed with razor clams, lobster, clams and a host of delicacies pays a moving homage to the North Sea and is so rich, fresh and gutsy that we warrant you will want to lick the plate. Nicolas Misera is a true artist in every sense of the word.
