Starters
Begin your culinary journey with the tantalizing Pâté en croûte de porc et boudin noir. This starter features rich pork pâté and traditional black pudding encased in flaky pâte feuilletée, offering a harmonious blend of textures and robust flavors that awaken the palate.
Mains
For the main course, indulge in either the Merlu en viennoise with ras el hanout and piment d'Espelette or the Navet confit au dashi and coulis de cresson de Szechuan. The Merlu is delicately pan-fried with a golden crumb, enhanced by the warm spices of ras el hanout and the subtle heat of Espelette pepper. Meanwhile, the Navet confit is a vegetarian delight – tender turnips slow-cooked in dashi broth, complemented by a silky Szechuan cresson coulis for an umami-rich and refreshing finish.
Desserts
Complete your meal with the Diplomate au kalamansi, a sophisticated dessert featuring a delicate biscuit Joconde layered with fresh kalamansi citrus, accented by aromatic pollen and a refreshing ginger ice cream.
