The Itameshi Table at Bellis

Italian tradition meets Japanese flavour at Bellis for a four-course tasting experience with Japanese-inspired cocktails.
About this Event

Bellis is built around itameshi—the intersection of Italian and Japanese culinary traditions. For this special dinner, the kitchen brings those two worlds together through a four-course menu combining familiar Italian techniques and dishes with Japanese ingredients, flavours and unexpected twists.

Alongside the menu, guests will enjoy custom Japanese-inspired cocktails created to complement each course and continue the cross-cultural experience from plate to glass.

Expect a relaxed, lively evening filled with inventive food, thoughtful cocktails and a fresh take on two distinct culinary traditions.
