The restaurant successfully combines elegant modern decor, an exquisite contemporary European menu and a jaw-dropping harbour view all under one roof.
The amuse bouche was a simple scallop sashimi with a garden green.
First up was one of chef Friedl's signature dishes, pan seared foie gras with balsamic vinegar.
Our second course was a scallops carpaccio that was sandwiched by two thin layers of ginger jelly. That was quite an innovative interpretation.
But the wheels started to fall off from here beginning with the disappointing langoustine skewers which was served with an intense lobster sauce.
The lamb wellington with spinach and mushroom was also slightly below expectation.
Le 188˚'s selling point is mainly the spectacular view so don't set your bar too high.
