Contemporary

Simpatico's smart casual set-up caters nicely across the board from family breakfasts,leisurely ladies'lunches to intimate couples'dinners. A relaxed atmosphere is heightened by its emphasis on communal dining by way of share plates. Double-baked,pillowy gruyere souffle resting in a moat of earthy,velvet porcini sauce might well have you fighting over the last forkful. Slow-roasted pork belly is a summery delight - crunchy crackling,pull-apart tender meat with a refreshing Thai-inspired green papaya salad. Sweet tooths might find the dessert selection a little safe but few can resist a perfectly baked apple tart. Its pastry is faultlessly crisp and golden layered and the apples have just enough balance of tartness,texture and sweetness. The petit fours are a surprise;among the highlights are house-made,coconut-jacketed marshmallow and smooth dark chocolate truffle.
