Dining on the Rocks is on a wooden deck mounted on a promontory on the tip of the headland, overlooking a 270-degree ocean vista and offering a series of degustation menus and wines to the fortunate few diners in a truly magical setting. The signature restaurant of the Six Senses, with a mision towards sustainability and healthy living, including a plant-based tasting menu, one of four innovative options. The wine list has over 100 labels of aglobal offering and carefully chosen wine pairings. Begin with house signature of textures of beetroot with quinoa, lime, guacamole, and home-made chips. All menus feature a soup course, perhaps a refreshingly aromatic tomato consomme with basil, a soft-shell crab bisque with coconut cream or a rich butternut squash veloute. The luxe menu includes hand cut silky pappardelle with juicy tiger prawns in a tasty pesto sauce, decorated with pine nuts and parmesan shavings. Main courses vary, be it an organic free-range chicken with spinach and heirloom carrots, up to a delicious slab of black Angus tenderlion with scallop, micro-herbs surrounded by a rich red wine sauce. Many ingredients are home-grown from the hotel's garden, and you can taste the difference. Dessert of 72% Chumphon origin chocolate lava pudding with salted caramel ice cream is perfect to end.
