“With a laid back, yet sophisticated, French-European menu based around the classic croque monsieur, hearty soups, fresh salads and toast dishes, classic specialties are given a modern twist here,†Alessandro Squartecchia, Cluster Restaurant
General Manager.
Well-known French croque recipes are the backbone of the menu with new and inventive recipes also there to satisfy the younger crowd.
Fresh homemade soups like the innovative chilled melon soup, as well as generously topped toasts such as Pain Perdu make guests’ mouths water from the moment they open the indulgent menu.
“If guests are looking for a moreish dessert, the selection of handmade ice cream sundaes and French pastries will not disappoint. Balls of premium ice cream stacked on top of one another and finished with fresh whipped cream, sprinkles and homemade sauces give dinersa flashback to childhood treats,†he added.
Concept
The classic car adorning the street outside the restaurant shows the beauty of the European designs dating back to the 1950s and 60s. Brands made famous through European races such as Le Mans, Nurbergring and Monte Carlo rally, as well as winning pedigree brands such as, Bugatti, Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley and Ferrari are all behind the inspiration for the venue.
In the paddock catering areas of these motor-racing events of years gone by,delicious cuisine would be served up to visitors and drivers alike. This classic European cuisine was the original trackside fare – something that is brought back to life in Classic Car Cafe.
Classic Design
With European inspiration and clear-cut interiors, Classic Car Cafe offers refined and
sophisticated style. Looking at the interiors of classic European cars, the restaurant houses the same design with luxurious leathers, clean metals and just enough accessorising. As a classic car adorns the pavement in front of the restaurant, guests can relax in a simplistic, yet luxurious space, perfectly complementing the Bistro
cuisine.
