A Gastronomic Discovery
Taking guests on a unique culinary journey through Italy.
Refined Italian Cuisine
As our signature fine-dining experience, Anthology elevates Italian cuisine, offering an unparalleled gastronomic adventure.
On the menu, created by our esteemed Head of Culinary, Franck Garanger, each dish is a celebration of Italy’s finest regional ingredients and flavours.
"For me, Italian cuisine is about respecting the people, the ingredients, and the traditions that have been passed down through generations. It's about sharing the soul of Italy, one dish at a time"
Franck Garanger, Head of Culinary
From the renowned flavours of Piedmont’s truffle-rich countryside in the North, to the famed specialities of Italy’s South, each plate celebrates the local produce and time-honoured techniques of every region in Italy.
The menu is an ingenious display of creativity – a vibrant tapestry of regional flavours and authentic ingredients which invites guests to immerse themselves in the different styles and tastes of Italy’s universally loved cuisine.
