Munchie

Chamonix


Franco-Japanese-Scandinavian fusion may not be the most obvious recipe for success, but this casual, Swedish-skippered restaurant has been making diners happy since 1997. There's a sharing plate concept with sushi plates resembling little works of art, and the excellent seafood and passionfruit ceviche, teriyaki duck and alcoholic Oreo milkshakes have brought local acclaim. Reservations recommended.
