Food & Beverage | The Parisian restaurants to present cuisines from Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur

Assiette de Fromages de Provence

Le French GourMay, the festival of French cuisine and wine culture, will return to Hong Kong and Macau in May, focusing on the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

To celebrate, The Parisian Macao’s French Brasserie and Le Buffet restaurants are presenting a genuine taste of the South of France from May 1 to 31.

The restaurants will offer an opportunity for guests to discover the cuisine of the second most visited region of France, spanning from the southern Rhône Valley to the Mediterranean coastline. The Parisian Macao has curated a sublime array of food, wine and entertainment.

For the entire month of May, Brasserie is offering a four-course set menu showcasing executive French Chef Daniel Brolese’s interpretation of traditional favourites from the famous Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.

The menu is available for both lunch and dinner, with highlights including foie gras and fig terrine, pistou soup, lobster barigoule and an array of unique cheeses brought in direct from Provence for diners to discover.

Afternoon tea set Picnic en Provence

Patrons will be presented with a menu where they are offered with two choices in the appetizer, main course and dessert section.

The executive French chef presents Soupe de Pistou, a traditional soup that features homemade sausages, or bean and vegetable soup with basil coulis.

For the choice of the menu’s main course, guests can choose between “Jarret de Veau Provençale,” braised veal shank in white wine, tomato, onion and garlic; or the chef’s “Homard en Barigoule d’Artichauds” – sautéed lobster on salted cod fish cake with artichoke in lardons, mushrooms and herbs.

Guests can also pair dishes with a selection of wines from the region, including Côtes-de-Provence, Baux de Provence and Bandol, available by both the bottle and glass. 

For the guests’ choice of dessert, Chef Brolese presents “Tarte Framboise et Citron, and selected cheeses from Provence.

Meanwhile, an afternoon tea themed “Picnic in Provence” is served in a picnic basket with sweet and savoury delicacies featuring the flavours of the region.
