Montana

A renovated 19th century palace is the venue for this restaurant that takes the finest Mediterranean ingredients and spins them with a distinct contemporary touch. Its variety of spaces allow for different experiences, whether they put on a tasting, a gastronomic exposition, and there are places to take a cocktail, to dine, to relax in and to hide away and get very romantic. Indeed this has won awards for the most romantic restaurant two years running. The 19th century architecture makes for tall windows, courtyards and long luminous dining rooms, sumptuously appointed with deep lush wooden parquet floors and a variety of subtle and charming colour schemes. Contemporary paintings blaze with colour against gorgeous muted terracotta walls, verdant explosions populate the patio and beautifully executed lighting brings the history of the structure and its classical dimensions into wonderful relief. The dishes are a feast on the eye and on the palette, making this restaurant an away day for the senses par excellence.
