Under the direction of Thierry Paludetto, Head Chef of the Giraudi Group, the Menu revisits the Classics with Precision: Club Sandwiches, Fresh Salads, Seasonal Dishes, and Signature Desserts. Among them are the Iconic Polo Cakes, conceived as True Iconic Objects to share, photograph, or take away.
