OAK

OAK is a top restaurant run by Marcelo Ballardin, a young chef serving a contemporary cuisine with surprising flavour combinations. OAK was awarded one Michelin star. Marcelo Ballardin studied at the London Cordon Bleu School, and completed a placement at Heston Blumenthal’s restaurant and at Tim Raue in Berlin. He also worked at Sergio Herman’s Pure C. In a nutshell, Marcelo definitely had what it takes to open his very own restaurant, where he serves up exceptional dishes made with seasonal and daily fresh products. At OAK you can enjoy a set menu, either a 3-course lunch or a 7-course dinner. Ready for a surprising culinary treat?
