For a medley of taste sensations, enjoy snacks like the goat cheese mousse sandwiched between burnt hay biscuits, braised rabbit with Story vinegar and tarragon emulsion, lobster tartlet with celeriac remoulade and lemon gel, or an oyster wrapped in lardo with an aigre-doux glaze and compressed cucumber.
Mains
The mains at Restaurant Story highlight the chefโs masterful techniques and imaginative British ingredients. Delight in the langoustine BBQ tail and claw, perfectly fresh with a light, frothy tomato cream broth. The signature Candle dish is an unforgettable edible candle made of beef fat accompanied by brioche, pickled celery, lemon, and an array of herbs and gravy. Pumpkin agnolotti with toasted milk, brown butter sauce, and sliced truffle offers a sublime balance of sweetness and earthiness. The turbot is served with fermented cabbage and roasted fish bone sauce, while the roasted duck crown is glazed and paired with barrel-aged Minus 8 vinegar for a sweet and lighter taste profile.

Try the lavender and pear shaved ice for a refreshing palate cleanser or the millefeuille featuring apple, chestnut, and Jerusalem artichoke that combines textures and flavors beautifully.
