Introducing The Clare Epicure—a monthly series celebrating the artistry and sophistication of our Executive Chef, Hagop Hagopian. 👨‍🍳

We begin with a masterclass in refinement: Kumamoto oysters crowned with osetra caviar, delicately balanced by pickled fennel, crisp apple, watermelon radish, fresh basil, and a finishing touch of olive oil. Light, nuanced, and impeccably composed, this dish reflects the precision and creativity that Chef Hagopian brings to every plate. 🦪
