A harbourside tasting room · by reservation

Dinner, staged in five acts.

The tide writes the menu each morning. At dusk we stage it — one counter, two seatings, five courses that arrive like scenes.

The overture

We don't serve courses. We stage them — in the dark, by candle, in the order the sea decides.

— MARÉE, on the harbour wall

Tonight's programme

Five acts, one tide.

The cast changes with the catch. Tonight, the sea sends these.

  1. I
    A single oyster on crushed ice with a pale mignonette pearl

    The cold open

    Oyster, mignonette pearl

    Raw from the morning boat, dressed in a frozen sphere of shallot and green apple that melts as it meets the shell.

    Poured with Chablis, 1er cru

  2. II
    A langoustine course glossed with bisque foam and a gold accent

    The rise

    Langoustine, its own bisque

    Barely warmed, laid over a foam drawn from the shells, finished with a breath of brown butter and gold.

    Poured with Meursault, oak-aged

  3. III
    A fish fillet in a saffron shellfish broth being poured tableside

    The turn

    Line-caught turbot, saffron tide

    Poured at the counter — a saffron shellfish tide rising around the fish until the plate is a small warm sea.

    Poured with Condrieu, Viognier

  4. IV
    A seared wagyu course over glowing embers with charred allium

    The fire

    Wagyu, over the coals

    The one act that leaves the sea. Grilled on open embers, rested in its own dark jus, a single allium burnt sweet.

    Poured with Hermitage, Syrah

  5. V
    A dark chocolate and burnt-caramel dessert with gold leaf

    The curtain

    Burnt caramel, dark chocolate

    The lights come down. Bitter chocolate, caramel taken to the edge of smoke, a single leaf of gold for the bow.

    Poured with Tokaji, late harvest

An intimate dining room with a long chef's counter and a warmly glowing open kitchen

The room

Sixteen seats, one fire.

No tables. A single blackened-oak counter wraps the open kitchen, so the pass is the stage and every guest sits in the front row. One service a night — we cook for the room, not the ticket.

The pairing

A glass for every act.

Our sommelier reads the night's cast, then pulls a flight to answer it — mineral whites for the cold acts, a single dark red for the fire, a sweet close for the curtain. Or stay with water and let the tide speak for itself.

  • The flight

    Five pours, act for act — mineral whites through the fire to a sweet close.

    ₱3,400

  • The reserve

    A single pour from the harbour cellar, pulled on request.

    On request

  • Zero-proof

    A house-made ferment flight — the tide, without the wine.

One night, in order

A single seating · doors at a quarter to · your names on the wall at the close

    A glass at the rail while the counter is dressed and the first ice is broken.

    Prologue

    Curtain — the cold open

    The room goes quiet, the candles come up, and Act I lands in front of you.

    Act I

    The one act that leaves the sea. The coals are stoked at the pass, in full view.

    The last plate, a final pour, and your names added to the harbour wall.
