01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
One diner recalled enjoying shrimp carpaccio with basil sorbet as a starter—a pairing that stands out for anyone looking to try a distinctly French-style dish at Rafiyu. The same account also noted the sauce, suggesting that it is part of the pleasure from the very first course.
Lunch centres on courses that include a starter and main, followed by dessert and a warm drink. For a lighter meal, the soup lunch pairs the soup of the day with a main, dessert and a drink after the meal. There are also courses that add a starter and soup, or combine two starters with a main, making it easy to choose according to how substantial a lunch you want.
Vegetables are at the heart of the cooking. The restaurant describes its French cuisine as using vegetables grown without pesticides or fertilisers, and diners have remarked on the colour of the spring vegetables and the generous vegetable accompaniments. Those keen to make vegetables the focus can also consider a reservation-only course centred on seasonal produce.
Dinner options include a course with a choice of main, as well as courses featuring both fish and meat, followed by dessert and a drink. There is also a wide selection of wines to explore alongside the courses.
