  HOW TO ORDER ...    
 

 

Thoughtfully selected by the chef to bring you an extensive range of fish as well as non-fish dishes, each menu category is compiled with tastes and flavours from around the world with a definite Asian (seafood) twist.

BOUILLA...QUOI?
     
 

Bouillabaisse (,bu:ja'bes) n.
a rich stew or soup of fish and vegetables flavoured with spices,
esp. saffron.

[from French, from Provençal bouiabaisso, literally:
boil down]

 
     
BOUILLABAISSE
     
 

Camil's signature dish is a modern approach to the famous fish soup served in the coastal regions of Provence, France

 
     
Don't call me fish...
     
 

But don't call Bouillabaisse 'fish soup'...the difference between ordinary fish soup and Bouillabaisse is the use of fennel, citrus, saffron and crayfish in the latter
