There is luxury in knowing what to leave untouched.

​

For ANOTHER × FRAE, we built an evening around the taste of nostalgia —— the kind that finds you before you've named it. Not an event to attend, but a night curated for the INDIVIDUALS who had gathered.

​

A creative direction designed to feel obscure, but knowing. Playful, but never careless. Personal, down to the last glass.

​

From concept to table, menu to materiality, every decision began with the same question: what should this evening taste like before a single guest sat down?

​

Classics, reimagined through seasonal produce and combinations that surprised before they made sense. Dill infused with French chartreuse. A rhubarb and custard kir royale. Torched mackerel. Asparagus véronique. Lamb navarin, cooked slowly over an open flame. 

​

Every dish carried its own story — a memory for one guest. a new discovery for another. a flavour no one wanted to stop tasting.

​

Our sommelier and chefs travelled from Ireland to the provencal region of france to cook, pour and mingle among the tables themselves — every wine drawn from organic, natural vineyards nearby, every ingredient from the local market that morning.

​

Creativity doesn't live in perfection. It lives in authenticity.
