The aptly named Silk is a 'bed restaurant' where patrons
semi-recline on white leather beds and are served magnificent food
in a setting of harmonious colours and soft lighting. Enclosed
inside the CocoonClub, Silk pulls out all the stops to

restaurant in the world where the DJs outnumber the chefs. The
restaurant features a waterbed, which is arguably the best 'table'
in the restaurant, surrounded by a virtual aquarium. The fusion of
high-class experimental cuisine, architecture and electronic music
makes for a unique experience. Guests dine together with reception
at 7.30pm and dinner service at 8pm, lasting for most of the
evening. Dishes served up include such fare as lobster spiked with
mango, Serrano ham, and lemon grass, as well as a rack of lamb with
a sauerkraut risotto. The prix-fixe menu consists of several
courses encouraging diners to make an evening of it. Silk is open
Tuesday to Thursday until 3am and Friday and Saturday until
7am.
