On the menu
This menu celebrates everything we love about Parisian cuisine – incredibly delicious food with a luxury and finesse that’s emblematic of French cooking. We begin with an amuse-bouche of potato and truffle velouté, followed by a starter of salmon two ways with pink peppercorns and pickled vegetables. For the main dish, Anna has created a French rendition of a classic beef wellington with pomme purée, tender vegetables and peppered jus, followed by a delicate macaron with Calamansi lemon mousse and fresh blueberries. Expect to learn skills and tips from a classically trained chef and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal with most of the hard work done for you (so just the fun parts!) We’ve also selected two fabulous English sparkling wines to pair with the menu which we think are on par with some of the finest French champagne (scroll down for more details).
