    As always Melting pot delivered a wonderful experience. The food is unmatched in beautifully balanced flavours. And the location is ideal. We sat on street level under a beautiful old tree by a water fountain. Very few places can offer that experience in the city. Keen to visit again! The staff were wonderfully attentive and so friendly. Thank you for making our event so special.

    We sat outside under the trees. It was such a lovely summers evening. The food was like an explosions in my mouth! Absolutely delicious!
