Expect top-notch service, a stylish setting and a creative meat-driven menu at Ash & Elm. Several ‘culinary theatres’ entice—such as the tempting charcuterie and cheese room, and wood-fired oven from where flatbread is constantly baked fresh. The signature pumpkin and bacon flatbread stands out. Kindled over Jarrah hardwood, it is a delectable balance of spices, mascarpone and Parmigiano Reggiano. Grills are a speciality here. Have the slow-grilled Iberico pork chop, delectably tender and juicy, served with three excellently rendered sauces— béarnaise, peppercorn and natural jus. End with a delicate soufflé. The weekend brunch is also worth waking up for.
