The redoubtable Dylan McGrath is the man behind this intriguing restaurant experience. Taste At Rustic, on the second floor of Rustic Stone, is an invitation to explore the idea of flavour. The menu is built around the five tastes – sweet, bitter, sour, salt and savoury Umami – and the expert cooking is strongly influenced by Japan, as well as Spain and South America. Trust us: this destination dining location promises a cascade of outstanding dishes to delight the senses. It also includes a Bonsai Bar, a new concept in high-end Japanese-influenced food and drinks. Along with an unrivalled list of Japanese whiskeys, beers and sake, you’ll find bespoke cocktails – and tempting bar bites like Black Cod with Japanese Tare Sauce, Wagyu Beef brushed in Sweet Miso with Smoked Bonito Flakes, and Akame Yellow Fin Tuna on a Kimchi Croquette. 

Best Dish: Wagyu Beef on the board – Priced on the board
