Inside a resort, this ancient monastery-turned restaurant imparts a feeling of serenity. Only open to the public for dinner, it serves a menu that changes every season. Local produce is prepared using impeccable European techniques, artistic plating and unique taste profiles. Pan-fried yellow croaker is crispy on the outside, silky on the inside; the light sauce works magic to accentuate its natural flavour. Ask the sommelier about wine or tea pairings.
