Next time that sugar craving kicks in, why not cut straight to the chase and indulge in a five-course desserts-only meal? Yes you can at Coda, which has been making desserts the destination in a very refined way since its opening in 2016. Led by René Frank und Oliver Bischoff, the restaurant’s ingredient-led, à la carte menu was designed to be mixed and matched, though we recommend the two- to five-course meals, complete with cocktail pairings. Eschewing a sugar overload, dishes are both sweet and savoury; composed around an interplay of textures, consistencies and acidity levels. Think mascarpone, yellow tomatoes and gingerbread complemented with a hazelnut, plum and coriander cocktail. Impeccable presentation and a sultry atmosphere further make a guilty pleasure feel all grown up. (Text: Victoria Pease / Photos: ett la benn (L) / Maximilian Carlo Schmidt (M) / Kunalum Lee (R))
