Fantastical Food Fiction

Mysteries, Fantasies, Epics and Classic Fiction Brought to Life in Food

Imagine stepping into a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, a multi-sensory culinary journey inspired by the hauntingly beautiful realms of Pan’s Labyrinth. This is not just a meal, but an immersive experience where every course tells a story, and every bite opens a door to a hidden world.

You step into an ancient forest in the Philippines. As you dine under the canopy of centuries-old trees, the whispers of local folklore linger in the air, and you feel as though you’ve stumbled upon a forgotten fairy-tale feast, where spirits once dined. This meal, seemingly pulled from another time, becomes an ethereal experience—a connection to the land, the sea, and the stories that flow through them.

The evening begins in an enchanted forest, a dimly lit pathway lined with towering, twisted trees and flickering lanterns that guide you into the heart of the labyrinth. The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and moss, the sound of distant whispers filling the space as if the trees themselves are alive. The atmosphere is charged with mystery and wonder.

As you sit at the table, your senses heighten. The first course arrives: The Pale Man’s Feast. A delicate plate of bone marrow, served with black truffle butter and sea salt, is presented on stone slabs, evoking the eerie banquet hall of the Pale Man himself. The marrow melts on your tongue, rich and decadent, while the sharp truffle adds a deep earthiness—a taste that lingers as if it’s part of the forest itself. In the background, the soft clinking of porcelain and a faint melody play, creating an eerie, dreamlike soundscape.

The next course, The Faun’s Garden, is an explosion of colour and texture. Before you is a plate resembling a mystical woodland, edible moss, vibrant microgreens, and foraged mushrooms artfully scattered across the plate. Hidden beneath are pockets of flavour—wild herbs, truffle-infused oils, and delicate drops of saffron honey. Each bite is a journey through the forest, where you encounter the unexpected: a pop of elderflower gel, a burst of citrus, a hint of sweetness from pickled pine needles. The dish is as mysterious as the Faun himself, full of secrets that reveal themselves bite by bite.

As the evening deepens, the sensory journey intensifies. You move further into The Labyrinth. A dim green glow illuminates the room as the main course, The Captain’s Sacrifice, is presented. The dish— a slow-roasted lamb, served with blood orange reduction and charred rosemary—invokes the dark, oppressive atmosphere of the Captain’s world. The meat is tender, almost ethereal, melting in your mouth as the bright, bittersweet notes of the orange cut through the richness. The charred rosemary adds a hint of smokiness, as though it were plucked from a fire smouldering deep within the forest, or from expired gun-shot capsules. The scent alone transports you to the Captain’s stark, chilling world, a place where power and darkness reign.

Between courses, the experience becomes interactive. You are invited to explore small, hidden doors placed around the maze. Each door, when opened, releases a scent—of citrus groves, of fresh rain, of burning wood—each one designed to evoke a scene from the narrative; you’d be unlucky to open the door of The Giant Toad. These multi-sensory elements immerse you further, making you feel as though you’ve cross ed the threshold into Ofelia’s world.

Dessert is an enchanting finale: Ofelia’s Dream. A whimsical concoction of spun sugar shaped into intricate, delicate patterns sits atop a velvety lavender-honey panna cotta, with gold-leafed edible flowers scattered like a fairy’s garden. The taste is light, floral, and almost otherworldly—an echo of Ofelia’s innocence and her delicate balance between reality and fantasy. As you crack into the sugar shell, hidden layers of berry compote and edible pearls are revealed, adding a burst of sweetness and texture, as if you’ve unlocked a treasure buried deep within the labyrinth.

In this culinary reimagining of Pan’s Labyrinth, food is not just sustenance—it’s a portal to another world. Every dish, every scent, and every sound draws you deeper into the story, blurring the lines between dream and reality, indulgence and adventure. Here, at the crossroads of magic and the senses, you discover that the real labyrinth isn’t just around you—it’s within you, and each taste is a key unlocking its deepest, most enchanting mysteries.

There is no ordinary when it comes to exploration with us—it’s a journey of the senses, where the art of exploration meets the soul of discovery. Each experience brings you deeper into the heart of the world, expanding your mind, spirit, and curiosity in ways you never thought possible. A world of discovery just got more alive, more vivid, and more magical than ever before.
