GLOBETROTTING EPICURE
Hong Kong’s Écriture has introduced its new contemporary tasting menu, the French Library of Flavours. The two-Michelin-starred French restaurant, which reopened its doors to dine-in guests in the middle of last month, seeks to pay tribute to hardworking family farms, producers and suppliers throughout France.
Executive chef Maxime Gilbert, in line with Écriture’s brand of innovative gastronomy, has opted for a reinterpretation of classical French cuisine, carefully curated as a four- (HK$1,188/S$218) or seven-course (HK$1,788/S$328) meal that has been injected with modern twists. The exquisite seasonal menu starts with Whelk and Fava Beans, featuring air flown whelk from Pecherie de Normandie; and the Green Asparagus, where the legendary Pertuis varietal is accompanied by John Dory from Laurent Daniel, a familyrun seafood supplier in le Guilvine.
