Look ahead to it with anticipation — it’s a kind of kinda locations. We left Outdated City Good by foot and headed over to the SEEN Restaurant & Bar. Mysterious, elegant, trendy and stylish are all phrases to explain this wonderful meals and wine gem set atop the enduring Anantara Plaza in Good. You would possibly say that SEEN by Olivier is a venue the place solar, sea, and skyline movement into one daring, elevated expertise. Of their phrases, “Wrapped in French stylish and Riviera appeal, SEEN strikes with the sunshine, from luminous lunches to late-night rhythm.” I couldn’t agree extra, though be aware that we solely expertise it by day. I can simply think about its fashionable and enjoyable vibe by evening nonetheless with its out of doors bar that boasts gorgeous views day or evening.
Let’s begin with what its pure and exquisite decor that engulfs you while you enter the restaurant and that is earlier than you get to the breathtaking views of the town under.

Though it was a scorching day, maybe too sunny for an out of doors desk, I couldn’t say no to the ambiance. In spite of everything, how may I? Alas, we began with an outside desk overlooking the town. BTW, all of the tables run alongside the aspect of the balcony, so there’s actually not a nasty out of doors desk in the home.
Let me begin by saying that it’s NOT a sushi restaurant however there’s a whole sushi menu and let’s simply say that the addition will not be an after thought. Certain, they’ve varied inventive sushi rolls, similar to Unagi with Foie Gras and Apple Sunomono — have you ever ever seen that on a sushi menu within the states? Or how about this one: Yellowtail and Candy Shrimp with Fried Candy Potatoes.
However earlier than we get to our sushi expertise, let’s chat about their typical starters for lunch or brunch. For instance, there’s a Carpaccio with multicolored beetroot, or Ceviche with Apples, Veggies and Lime, or Oysters, Duck Foie Gras on Brioche Toast and Fruit Chutney or Fried Eggs on Truffle Puree served with mushrooms and truffles. Or, or, or — I may go on. The menu is that good.

I needed to attempt their Buffalo Burrata with Tomato and Basil salad (under).
Need Caviar by itself? They’ve received you lined with just a few choices, together with Gunkan Wagyu Tartare and Caviar or straight Nigiri Toro Caviar. Subsequent time, I’d like to attempt the Wagyu. Initially, I used to be considering of a important course with a sushi roll or sashimi to start out (tuna stomach, bluefin tuna, yellowtail, seabass filet or sea scallops are a few of the choices), till I noticed the 16 piece sushi choice (chef’s selection). They serve it with a bang is one of the best ways to explain it. “Good selection, Renee”, I mentioned to myself after it arrived. This was no bizarre sushi platter as you possibly can see from its attractive plating.
It was massive sufficient to not warrant a important course and so we didn’t — between the appetizers and the sushi, it was greater than sufficient, particularly on a scorching afternoon. I paired all of it with the Chablis Billaud Simon (Chardonnay) and Anthony had a mocktail made with vanilla, martini vibrante and gingerade. It was an ideal day for one – oh so refreshing, particularly with a twig of Rosemary. I observed that lots of the wines on the menu had a mix with the Rolle grape, typically blended with a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay.
For many who need one thing lighter, they’ve Veggie and Fish Bento Bins: Veggie Bento and Bento de la Mer respectfully. Observe that each one of their fish and seafood are sustainable caught. It’s also possible to go for an entree (appetizer), important and dessert for 48€. The value fixe after we have been there included a Candy Cream Corn with Crispy Shrimp, adopted by Hen with Mushroom Risotto and Pearled Juice. Dessert was an Almond Streusel with Alpaco Chocolate Cream and Pomelo Sauce. Yum, proper?
If you wish to order straight from the menu, that’s additionally an possibility. Along with freshly caught fish, you possibly can order a Black Angus Rib Steak with Shallot Sauce, an Asian-Fashion Beef Fillet Tartar, a Breaded Lamb Cutlet Milanese Fashion, a Wagyu Beef with Ivory Sauce and Mushroom Linguini and several other others choices. None of those jumped on a heat fall day however would make nice selections for a dinner one evening beneath the celebrities.
Ultimately we moved in to satisfy one other journalist and to get a break from the solar, though fairly frankly, I may have fortunately stayed there all afternoon. Inside, the vibe is equally beautiful due to the glass doorways that adorn all the aspect of the restaurant. Like I mentioned, there’s not a nasty desk in the home.
Okay, so we shared a dessert, however solely as a result of the waiter inspired it. How are you going to say no to one thing this decadent?
Cappuccino anybody? All of it was totally heavenly. The waiters have been attentive and went out of their approach to make us really feel at house.
And the views of the town from the out of doors patio is breathtaking. Now you perceive why it was so laborious to go away.
Behind all of it is chef-entrepreneur Olivier da Costa who is thought for creating authentic gastronomic experiences.
