Luxurious interiors that set the stage

Step through Medusa’s private street‑facing entrance and you’re met with theatrical opulence: plush burgundy velvet drapery cascades from lofty windows and columns, instantly casting an intimate, cabaret‑luxe mood. Above, a sweeping trompe l’oeil sky is painted on the curved ceiling—evoking a dreamy, surreal canopy that shifts as the night unfolds.

The venue flows naturally: a dramatic central oval bar anchors the space, flanked by a welcome bar at the entrance and a tucked‑away lounge bar that invites quieter conversation before the evening crescendos. All surfaces gleam in deep lacquer, marble, mirrored glass, and patinated brass; ambient, programmable lighting shifts with the mood as hours pass.

Designed by Pauline and John Sac of 50/53 Architects, every element—from furniture to lighting to spatial flow—is choreographed for maximum impact: dramatic yet functional, bold yet inviting. Each nook teases a different kind of night, from cozy tête‑à‑tête to scene‑stealing soirées.

It starts with supper… with the food front and center

The culinary dream team—Chefs Lisa Revilla, David Thien, and Ruther Sandico—serve bold, elevated comfort classics with global finesse. You’ll want to start light with crispy salmon sushi, Iberico‑topped croquettas, or an indulgent A4 Wagyu sando. Seafood lovers will swoon over the hamachi crudo, lobster roll, or the smoky Oysters Rockefeller. Feeling decadent? Opt for Wagyu & Caviar Mille‑Feuille, Bafun Uni Toast, or a full tin of Astara caviar with blinis.

Salads pop: choose the Apple Salad for brightness, or a rich Caesar amped up with bacon and anchovy depth. Mains bring finesse—buttery Norwegian salmon, miso‑glazed black cod, fennel‑infused Kurobuta pork chop, or a 250 g Angus rib‑eye that’s pure indulgence. Vegetarians will love the roasted cauliflower and parmesan, with parmesan foam and woodsy flair.

Wagyu and Caviar Mille Feuille is luxury layered into every irresistible bite.

Pasta starlets include lamb pappardelle, prawn and chorizo risotto, or the luxurious lobster fettuccine in bouillabaisse sauce. For sharing, the salt‑baked branzino, roasted lamb rack, or hearty chicken Wellington deliver drama and flavor. And desserts? The Basque brûlé cheesecake, lava cake, profiteroles, Eton Mess sundae, and sticky toffee pudding close the act with a delicious flourish.

Cocktails follow suit in creativity: from the peach‑clove Medusa G&T to the velvety Ambrosia Noir, herbaceous The Priestess, bittersweet Last Gaze, smoky‑fruity Slowburn, or floral Gorgonnette—each sip is as designed as the décor. Plus, show‑stopping punchbowls like Medusa’s Revenge and Aphrodite’s Breath serve 10 with grand theatricality.
