What is your signature dish?

Foie Gras and Bosc Pair Duo Ravioli Delicate ravioli filled with silky foie gras mousse and slow-poached Bosc pear compote, finished with champagne cream, aged saba, and fine herbs. The richness of the foie gras is balanced by subtle sweetness and acidity, creating a dish that is both deeply luxurious and refined.
