The Salmone Affumicato, a dish perfecting the lingering taste of smoked salmon with salad or the antipasto of vegetables marinated with herbs offer ideal beginnings, whilst Scarlet’s hot and sour takes a spin on this ever so popular soup.

Going light, then try the parma ham and salami panini or for vegetarian the cheese and broccoli panini. Chef’s special, Italian piadina sandwich is making a name for itself in the city too. Pasta’s leave you spoilt for choice. To execute to perfection the al olio peperoncino, a simple combination of just garlic, olive oil and chili peppers takes a skilled hand. The frutti de mare is a wonderful concoction of seafood with prawn, crab meat, cuttlefish and seer. If you fancy ravioli, then do try the Ricotta and Spinach or even seek out your all time favourites from Bolognese to vegetarian lasagne.

For more and varied main course, the succulent beef tenderloin or the pan fried mullet served with potato wedges and buttered vegetables are both a must try. Closer to home, relish the Indonesian nasi goreng or the South Indian lemon rice with coconut milk. Moreover, Scarlet Room understands that a global cuisine menu is only complete with Sri Lankan style rice and curry made to age old recipes.

At Scarlet Room, the best is saved for last. Immerse your taste buds in the warm apple pie with vanilla ice-cream or try out the melt-in-your-mouth tiramisu created for pure self indulgence. The pleasantly spiced cardamom and black sesame brulee is the choice for those who favour a lingering taste, whilst the homemade ice creams in a choice of chocolate, strawberry and even chili flavor take centre stage.
