Doot Doot Doot
Contemporary$$$
A glossy spot within a seriously luxe hotel.
For somewhere with a 10,000 globe chandelier, Doot Doot Doot is defiantly dark. But the sleek black interior only makes the artful dishes pop more. You might watch clear mushroom broth poured from a teapot onto a bed of silky pine mushrooms and neat chestnut-filled agnolotti.
Golden fried buns possess serious crunch that gives way to oozing celeriac puree. Staff come prepared with detailed explanations of dishes, including dumplings made from tender sheets of kohlrabi that wrap a sweet macadamia filling. Char siu-style pork chop looks otherworldly. Puffs of crackling bloom like mushrooms from the sweet charred meat, and black raindrops of deeply funky black garlic mustard speckle the plate.
Hazelnut Basque cheesecake comes with a toffee-like bruleed top; three accompanying house-made beetroot gummy bears make the perfect coda to this high-concept tasting menu.
Good to know: Each dish has a wine pairing listed to help those who are ordering by the glass.
