A dramatic backdrop underscores how the food here isn't for the faint-hearted. If you're looking for an artery-clogging dinner, then search no further.

Mozzarella, zucchini, aubergine & tomato jelly with ratatouille coulis, roast garlic & brioche croutons in basil pesto. The closest thing here to a real salad.

Angel hair seaweed pasta with hay-fired oyster, caviar and crisp fried leek in sparkling champagne sauce. We tried to share this, but that was a mistake. You'll definitely want the whole oyster to yourself.

Corsican brocciu-stuffed beetroot ravioli with fresh and dried tomato slices, drizzled with olive oil from the mill of Jean-Marie Cornille. Beetroot-lovers will rejoice at this. On the other hand, it overpowers everything else on this plate.

Warm tea-smoked salmon with confit potatoes creme fraiche and salmon roe. Probably Frangi's signature dish. Tastes as good as it looks.

Truffle-spiked pigeon confit ravioli with sage caper beurre noisette and egg yolk. The pigeon seemed a bit stringy, but the egg yolk and butter sauce helped make this more pleasurable.

Pan-roasted duck confit with mustard cream and mashed potato. If your tolerance for salt is low, then skip this. Tender and meaty, but very, very salty.
