L'Abissiou presents two sophisticated menus that captivate with their elegant compositions and seasonal inspirations. Each menu invites diners on a journey through delicate seafood, tender meats, and inventive desserts, all harmonized by subtle aromatic touches and expert technique.
menu profondeur
The Menu Profondeur is a masterclass in layered flavors and textures. It begins with exquisite langoustine vapeur paired with petits pois, févettes, and mousserons de la Saint Georges, enlivened by a langoustine jus delicately seasoned with lemon salt and pine buds. This is followed by rouget barbet confit accompanied by crisp green asparagus and a rouget condiment, balanced with a maté emulsion. The richness continues with a morille farcie and tender ris de veau adorned with soufflé buckwheat and vin jaune sauce. For the main course, savor the succulent Pyrenean milk lamb with artichoke, potato, fresh mint, and a jus d'agneau that ties the dish beautifully. The meal concludes with a selection of cheeses and decadent desserts featuring Manjari 64% chocolate with Voatsiperifery pepper, cacao crumble, pepper ice cream, rhubarb with juniper berry, gin ice cream from Achards, and a fromage blanc parfait enhanced by rhubarb and hibiscus sauce.
menu euphotique
The Menu Euphotique offers a slightly lighter but no less refined selection featuring the same fresh langoustine vapeur with petits pois, févettes, and mousserons de la Saint Georges infused with a bright langoustine jus accented by lemon salt and pine buds. The confit rouget barbet returns with green asparagus and its signature condiment, complemented by the delicate maté emulsion. This menu culminates in a sweet finale with the signature Manjari chocolate 64% paired with Voatsiperifery pepper, cacao crumble, and a refreshing pepper ice cream.
