- Highlighting the Signature dishes are:
The "Monte-Carlo egg" infused with cassava truffle maracuja, showcasing a blend of flavors inspired by Creole passion fruit.
A pre-dessert sensation, the "Buckler sorrel lacté," served in a calbas, inviting guests to immerse themselves in Chef's childhood reminiscences.
Indulge in the nostalgic delight of "Chocolate from my childhood in Martinique."
- Among the new additions, prepare your palate for:
The tantalizing "Chicken Madras 'Boucan d’Enfer'," accompanied by Dombré fouyapin, mango, and striped prawn.
Delight in the exquisite "Lovely lobster dumpling," featuring coconut milk curry and Zēbāfē oil, alongside sweet potato with cocoa butter, ginger, and trout roe.
Savor the richness of "Soccade lamb colombo in razié crust," complemented by "Francis" citrus and polenta.
The menu will evolve every three weeks, synchronizing with the rhythm of nature and the seasonal offerings from Chef's garden.
Innovative "food & wine" pairings curated by the Chef and Sommelier, as well as alcohol-free "food & aromas" combinations, harness the art of fermentation and infusion, creating enchanting flavor profiles reminiscent of a fine wine tasting experience.
For dessert aficionados, an enchanting pastry island serves as the centerpiece, where guests witness the final touches being added to desserts before their very eyes. This seamless connection between kitchen and dining room epitomizes Chef Marcel Ravin's vision of breaking down barriers and creating an immersive dining experience.
Additionally, the unveiling of an exclusive rum, crafted in collaboration with Maison Clément, marks a celebration of the new Blue Bay Marcel Ravin. This Signature rum, aged in oak vats, boasts notes of cocoa, leather, and vanilla, with a distinct grassy undertone.
