If you enjoy indulging in fine food, then Raffles Hotel Le Royal in Phnom Penh is hosting Michelin Star Chef Patrice Hardy for two days of divine dining.
The revered French chef will present some of his most celebrated culinary creations during two days of exclusive meals on March 30 and 31 at the hotel’s Restaurant Le Royal.
Chef Patrice’s gastronomic expertise draws from his extensive experience in illustrious restaurants worldwide, including the two-Michelin-starred Le Palme d’Or at Hotel Martinez in Cannes and the one-Michelin-starred La Brettonnière in Boulogne-Billancourt and La Truffe Noire in Neuilly.
What’s on the menu?
During his time in the Cambodian capital, Chef Patrice will deliver back-to-back lunch and dinner offerings that feature highlights from his latest culinary venture, Le Mazet, on France’s southern coast. The Michelin Guide has praised Chef Patrice’s love for fine produce, particularly truffles, which feature prominently on his special dinner menu.
Dinner guests will savour a five-course meal that includes a veal tartare with Borghi truffle, goose liver in “Bonbonnière” with green asparagus and yellow wine emulsion, poached sea bass with artichoke duo and truffle butter, beef onglet marinated with caramelised shallots and red cabbage, and a sumptuous bread pudding with aged cognac siphon and apple-prune purée ($95++).
For lunch, guests can choose from a three-course menu that features creamy Parmesan cheese soup with poached egg or marinated mackerel fillets with beetroot and ketchup sorbet. The main course includes Takeo river lobster risotto spicy bisque or free-range chicken supreme stuffed with potato mash and cola sauce, and a dark chocolate tart with parsley ice cream to conclude ($38++).
And for drinks?
Complementing the food, guests will also be able to discover the exclusive Louis XIII Cognac Experience, which will be served table-side from a decanter. Wine pairings are also available for lunches and dinners.
