Seafood lovers are in for a treat with the new Autumn Menu at the 1-Michelin star Rech by Alain Ducasse.
Inspired by the freshest seasonal fish and ingredients from France and beyond, Executive Chef Stéphane Gortina has created tempting dishes showcasing succulent seafood and autumn vegetables prepared with diverse textures and flavours to excite the palate.
Highlighted dishes include:
Grey mullet carpaccio, sea urchin
A signature dish of Rech Paris featuring Grey Mullet from the Atlantic Ocean
Quick-seared langoustines, ginger and lime
From Scotland, the langoustines are cut in half, then quick-seared with lime & ginger. Adding a Hong Kong touch, Chef Stéphane then deep-fries the claws, which are served on the side with a “tartar” sauce made with lemon and ginger.
Warm oysters with Champagne, caviar
The warm oysters are topped with a gratinated Sabayan, made with Alain Ducasse Champagne and topped with Kristal Kaviali Caviar.
Grilled sea scallops, raw and cooked ceps
Chef Stéphane uses Diver scallops from the Atlantic Ocean and seasonal ceps from France, prepared in a variety of styles including roasted, sliced and puréed.
Atlantic Line-caught sea bass on scales, artichoke-citron-coriander
As per Chef Stéphane, “All of our fish is line-caught by fishermen using small boats. This fish is fresher and of a better quality than fish that is caught by net on large fishing boats which stay out at sea and store the fish for longer before it even makes its way to the market.”
Fresh artichoke, cooked with citron and coriander and prepared with various textures – roasted, glazed and crispy – enhances the natural flavour of the fish.
For dessert, save room for Pastry Chef Thomas Moulin's new desserts which include Baked Alaska for two, flambéed tableside; Oven-baked apple with currant jelly, crème fraiche or Lemon/kombu soufflé. The ever popular Mr Rech: Hazelnut ice cream and hot chocolate sauce* is back on the menu, along with Rech's famous XL eclairs with a choice of chocolate* and orange blossom.
* Chocolate from Alain Ducasse's manufacture in Paris
