Saga

Set in a landmark skyscraper that towers over the city, Saga is a stunner. An aperitif from the terrace is a striking start before settling into one of several intimate rooms fit with peach and emerald velvet, green marble tables and carved stone accents. An aura of class and comfort takes hold in preparation for a cuisine that is inspired and delightful, as in Hokkaido scallop arranged with shaved fennel and vadouvan butter sauce; or Australian lamb dressed with a spiced jus and frothed herb sauce. To finish, a lovely Moroccan tea service, paying homage to the late Chef James Kent, is complete with an array of sweet bites.
