Twenty One Plates is an extension of our kitchen and home and just like yourown, it is a place where you can enjoy a comfortable andprivate meal with familyand friends. Separate dining areas, in varied sizes, keep conversations and company

private; our BYOB policy allows you to bring that special bottle ofwine, corkage-free; and the service and menuflexibilitywe provide might be a little hard to findanywhere else, except, well, your home. But as this is a restaurant too, knowthat you will sometimes have to dine with strangers next to you, ask to be billedbecause, after all, weve done the shopping and cooking for you and cannot reallyask to stay on for as long as you like for obvious reasons.

The menu, which may change up to three times a year, is aneclectic mix ofour familysoldandnew recipe favorites and our latest experimentsinspiredby theworldsbest cuisines.

Its not all strictly fusion as what most people thought the initial menuto be. Whether the plate you are about to have is from the chefs familyshand-me-downrecipes or are-creationof a dish weve sampled from a place faraway or one of our happy innovations, it is always for you to enjoy. Becausewhether we eat for the sake of simple nourishment or pure enjoyment, we allknow that food always has to be beautifully good and wonderfullybeautiful.

Oh, and do know that good food takes a bit of time. Its not an excusefor being slow. Its just how it is when most of the food in our kitchen iscooked as you order them. Ask company to be served all at the same time or ifsome of you dont mind the wait, we will serve each plate as soon as theyre done.

Enjoyyour meal.
