The date

Ugly Duckling sits in a pocket-sized Chinatown room on Fisgard Street doing things that make food critics whisper 'Michelin'. The format is the date: a seasonal tasting menu moving through the Island's fields, forests and coastline in handmade courses you cannot rush, from reimagined dim sum to the occasional sweet-and-sour foie gras. The menu changes constantly, so every booking is a different dinner. It's 4.7, seats are few, book early.
