NEW AIR at Dempsey!

Casual and laid-back, but never flippant. The Restaurant is the nexus of AIR. It is helmed by Chef Matthew Orlando, founder of Amass in Copenhagen, renowned as one of the most sustainable restaurants in the world. Naturally, AIR’s kitchen knows its way around coaxing every last bit of flavour from every piece of produce. More importantly, the food it dishes out is indisputably delicious. Meals at AIR begin with Snacks like Roasted Jackfruit “Hummus” served with young cabbage leaves and burnt lemon dukkah ($22) or Crispy Oyster Mushrooms with Sarawak pepper emulsion and pickled chillies ($28). There are Light Bites like White Fish Ceviche with green mango, Kenari nut milk and emping crisps ($26) and Grilled Squid Salad with shaved vegetables and charred coconut ($26). The Mains are hearty. Think a Whole Coral Grouper For Two ($58), which is nothing like you’d imagine a whole coral grouper might look like. The dish comprises a fish head rillette. The fillet is confited and drizzled with a green onion and black garlic vinaigrette, and served alongside a lavash made from fish bones. #tripstars
