Aux Beaux Arts is serving a 3-course dinner for the month of May, showcasing the authentic flavors of the Région Midi-Pyrénées.
As part of the Le French GourMay program, the Festival honors a distinct gastronomic region of France each year. The Région Midi-Pyrénées, located in the southern part of France, is chosen to be the main theme of this year’s celebration. Chef Elie Khalife, Chef de Cuisine of Aux Beaux Arts, adopts authentic ingredients to present the ‘crème de la crème’ of French gastronomy with his own twist.
The 3-course menu begins with appetizer options of Bayonne ham platter with Quercy melon sorbet, or Warm Cabécou d’Autan goat cheese salad with Périgord walnut, red apple and confit tomato. Quercy melon is the signature specialty of the Région Midi-Pyrénées and this dish will surely spice up the traditional combination of ham and melon.
Aligot de l’Aubrac and grilled beef tenderloin with mixed green salad and truffle sauce is one of the main course items. With melted cheese and butter blending into the mashed potatoes, it is one of the most authentic dishes of the Région Midi-Pyrénées. The beef is enhanced by a sauce made from truffles, foie gras and red wine.
The Chocolate pavet with orange jelly and Quercy saffron ice-cream is the finale of the dinner. The aromatic saffron ice-cream harmonizes with the chocolate mousse while the orange jelly provides a refreshing balance to the pavet.
