Tapas Molecular Bar

Tapas Molecular Bar offers counter-style molecular cuisine.
Reserve

Molecular cuisine disassembles familiar dishes and reintegrates taste, flavour, texture and temperature, combining with other ingredients and using new cooking approaches. The concept at Tapas Molecular Bar has been created by Chef de Cuisine Kento Ushikubo. Having majored in Art, Chef Kento’s unique background inspires his passion for creative gastronomy, presenting “an art gallery of dishes that stimulates the five senses and the imagination”. He takes guests on a culinary tour with the Omakase Menu – featuring a visual feast like works of art and with flavours from around the world, using tools and techniques that wouldn’t be out of place in science labs or artists’ studios. To complement the experience, dishes are carefully paired with fine drinks selected by our restaurant’s sommelier or meticulously crafted by our bartender.


 


Child policy: Children from 12 years old and above are welcome to dine with us.


 


Dress code: Kindly be informed that Tapas Molecular Bar observes a casual elegance dress code. Please refrain from wearing baseball caps, sleeveless tops, casual sandals, and flip-flops in the restaurant.
