WATER 
Inspired by the hidden oasis of the desert, this dish blends seaweed poached crab and lobster with finely chopped mango, rich crème fraiche, grapefruit, topped with green oil and delicate caviar.
EARTH 
Like the sands of the desert, this dish reveals layers of smashed avocado, heirloom carrots and roasted sweet potatoes. Baby beets, crisp red radish and desert truffle provide a satisfying bite, reflecting the evolving textures of the dunes.
FIRE

AIR 
Floating on delicate layers of airy puff pastry, a light vanilla lemon espuma takes flight, surrounded by caramelised banana, fresh berries, and a drizzle of date syrup that glides like a breeze.
