Description

Hidden beneath Shangri-La The Fort, this retro-inspired spot opens with a moody corridor and staircase leading to a vibrant 1970s-style space. The mezzanine in the Living Room is the place to be. Start with a cocktail before diving into a Japanese-Brazilian menu packed with truffle, Wagyu and scallops. If you're feeling indecisive, opt for the chef's tasting menu. The weekday lunch is good value; weekends shift into party mode with a live DJ from 11pm.
