One of the most frequently recommended dishes from the à la carte menu. The beef is braised until tender in Guinness, creating a rich, complex sauce. Rather than a traditional pot pie, it's deconstructed—the pastry comes separately, allowing diners to customize their experience. Reviewers note the meat falls from the bone and the beer sauce provides depth without bitterness.
Tips from diners
This dish is commonly highlighted in reviews as a must-try. The deconstructed presentation is unusual but intuitive—build your own bites.
The restaurant's opening ritual. Bread arrives warm from the kitchen, paired with deeply flavored house-cultured butter. Reviewers consistently mention this as a highlight—a simple course that sets expectations high for the meal. The butter's tang and the bread's warmth create an ideal pairing.
Tips from diners
The bread quality is very high. Ask the server what's baking that day—they often have multiple varieties.

Madam Sixty Ate opened in 2011 in Wan Chai as a celebration of travel and culinary fusion. Chef Director Chris Woodyard and Head Chef Andrew Braham created the concept around the travels of the fictional 'Mdm 68,' whose diverse journeys inspire the menu's blend of English, French, Spanish, and Italian influences. The restaurant is known for its artistic details—hand-illustrated menus featuring whimsical animals, an open kitchen concept, and a bright, airy dining room that defies the restaurant's modest entrance. The theme extends even to the elevator, where a pig named Eliza greets arriving diners.
The entrance is modest and easy to miss—look for J Senses Building on Johnston Road, near The Pawn. Once inside, the bright, airy space is a surprise. The open kitchen is visible from the main dining room.
Reservations recommended, especially Friday-Saturday. Lunch is quieter if you prefer a less-crowded dining experience. The restaurant stays open late (midnight daily), making it good for post-work dining.
The hand-illustrated menus are collectible—they feature whimsical drawings of animals like Pedro the Squid and Joseph the Duck. The interior design is bright and contemporary with creative wallpaper. Photography-friendly space.
