Mark's

Mark's Review

A wonderful culinary experience is reached on three literal levels at Mark's in the Hotel Mandarin Oriental, itself synonymous with excellence and luxury. You can enjoy lunch either in the hotel lobby or—weather permitting—eight floors up on the magnificent roof terrace, which has 360-degree views of the city. And at dinnertime, Mark's is set on the balcony of the luxurious lobby, with a wide white marble staircase leading up to it. The 2011-appointed head chef, Simon Larese, creates decadent dishes, for example a starter of tatar of Scottish wild salmon, light sour cream and St. James caviar plus walnut-blinis. Equally impressive is the light saffron soup bouillabaisse vegetables, panfried king prawn and then roast-beef filet panfried potatoes with baby vegetables and red wine sauce. Desserts are impressive: try the pistachio soufflé, balsamico strawberries and pistachio cream with a light strawberry sorbet.
