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.
