Salmon Carpaccio
Delicate salmon topped with crispy capers and fresh chives.
Getting the Most from a Plate of Salmon Carpaccio
Carpaccio takes its name from a raw beef dish associated with Venice, and over the decades the idea has travelled well beyond its original ingredient. Salmon is a natural fit: its rich, silky flesh holds up to thin slicing, and its gentle fat carries bright, salty and herbal accents without needing heavy sauces. That balance is exactly why it sits so comfortably in a kitchen that blends European technique with Asian sensibility. Both traditions prize raw fish handled with care, served cold and finished with restraint.
Why temperature and timing matter
Thinly sliced fish is at its best soon after it reaches the table. Served well chilled, the salmon keeps a firm, clean texture, and the crispy capers stay crunchy instead of softening into the fish. If you are sharing, it is worth tasting this plate first, before warmer dishes arrive, so the delicate flavours are not overshadowed by richer sauces or spice.
How to taste it
- Take a full forkful. Gather a slice of salmon with a few capers and a little chive so you get fat, salt and freshness together.
- Pause between bites. A sip of something crisp resets the palate and makes each bite feel as clean as the first.
- Build a progression. Follow carpaccio with something warm and savoury from our shareable plates to contrast cool and silky with hot and crisp.
A note for sensitive diners
Because carpaccio is served raw, guests who are pregnant, have a weakened immune system or have been advised by a doctor to avoid raw seafood may prefer a cooked alternative. Fish allergies should always be mentioned when ordering. Our team can help point you towards other dishes on the full menu if this one is not the right choice for you.
Whether it opens a long dinner of small plates or stands as a light bite with a glass of wine, salmon carpaccio is a quiet showcase of precise preparation, where the quality of the fish and the care in its slicing do most of the talking.
