Starters

Seafood lovers will delight in the Carabineros cooked à la plancha, served alongside a velouté of petit pois infused with tagète and a creamy almond sauce. For a fresh and earthy note, the green asparagus tips from Provence come cooked and raw, paired with morels gently stewed in vin jaune. Caviar aficionados can indulge in the prestigious 20g of osciètre caviar served with traditional buckwheat blinis.
Mains
The main courses at Lasserre exhibit sophistication and seasonal flair. The steamed sea bass is exquisite, enhanced by imperial caviar and smoked sea apples delicately infused with beechwood aromas. The blue lobster with saffron complements tender fennel and tetra gon leaves, offering a harmonious balance of flavors.
For those seeking robust and earthy notes, the roasted turbot with herbs arrives with braised lettuce heart and a delicate white wine and shellfish sauce. The Bavarian beef fillet is a standout, accompanied by morels stuffed with duck foie gras and complemented by vibrant spring vegetables. For a memorable sharing experience, the Challans duckling with orange, paired with blood orange condiment, carrots, and oak mushrooms scented with thyme, is a perfect choice. The Finistère squab, prepared in the André Malraux style, features French green peas and a Barolo vinegar jus for an elevated regional touch.
