Corporate bits | Restaurant at the Parisian presents French Festival menu

Le French GourMay, the festival of French culinary and wine culture, will return to Hong Kong and Macau this May.

To commemorate the event, The Parisian Macao’s classic French Brasserie restaurant is offering a special four-course menu with champagne pairings for the entire month.

This year’s event pays homage to the most famed wine region of all, Champagne, and the restaurant has paired the promotional menu with a hand-picked range of champagnes from some of France’s smaller growers, all of which will be available both by the glass and the bottle.

Dishes on the menu include baked scallops with an onion compote and crayfish sauce, foie gras and rabbit terrine en croûte, asparagus veloute with poached egg and French poultry breast in morel sauce on cabbage compote.
