One last Sunday lunch before we close this chapter.

When Chef Eric joined us for his winter residency at &Friends, we couldn’t have imagined how many beautiful afternoons would grow around the table. This final Round Table Lunch feels especially meaningful because it brings everything full circle.

We opened this journey with Chef Jess, before handing the residency over to Eric. It only feels right that they return to the kitchen together for one last service.

Expect a Thai-inspired menu, thoughtful conversation around the table, and a soundtrack curated by C-Soul to carry us through the afternoon.

To everyone who has joined us over the past few months—thank you. We hope to welcome many familiar faces back, alongside a few new ones, as we celebrate the end of this residency. It’s not goodbye forever, just the closing of a really special season.

And while winter comes to a close, we’re already looking ahead. Stay tuned for news of an exciting summer residency, coming soon. ☀️
