We’re transforming The Grace deck into our own Mediterranean courtyard, with long tablecloths, generous plates and that warm, unhurried spirit Sicilian festas are known for.
Chef Dora brings the recipes, the stories, and the heart behind every dish. The first in a series of golden afternoons, scented with lemon and olive oil.
Expect a slow, abundant feast; sunlight on your shoulders; glasses clinking as the afternoon unfolds. Think Nonna’s table reimagined, where familiar flavours meet old-world rhythms, with a touch of festa chaos humming through the day.
An intimate, communal afternoon with very limited seats.
