Dinner (again) Figs with arabic coffee Smoked Salmon and Crab Parcel Asian Braised Beef Rib Cheese plate Fruit plate (Menu Card)

Arabic coffee and figs again highly recommended. Smoked Salmon and Crab Parcel was wonderful. Sadly they were out of Lobster Thermidor, so I went for the Asian Braised Beef Rib which was OK. Cheese plate was very generous in selection and portion size. Fruit plate was excellent. I tried all six wines that were available during this meal and all were of excellent quality, although the Champagne was flat again so they opened a new bottle for me. Only thing lacking on the booze front is the fairly closed wine selection: two oaked chardonnays and two full on reds.
