Camélia at Mandarin Oriental

Enjoying a glass of Bollinger champagne to start with!

 

LUNCH AT CAMÉLIA IN PARIS. A highlight during the stay at The Mandarin Oriental in Paris was for sure the amazing experience at the restaurant Camélia which is located in their gorgeous courtyard, executive chef being Thierry Marx. The kitchen has  a original take on french cuisine.

I started the lunch with a sea bream tartar made of cucumber, coconut and kaffir lime parfait. Johan had their bresse chicken made from terrine, foie gras, pickled girolles mushrooms with a sherry ‘xeres’ reduction. For main course I had their blue lobster in a open ravioli. Such a divine experience! Something you can not miss while you are at the hotel is their cake shop! Johan had their famous Le Saint-Honoré dessert and I had their divine mango experience. I am still dreaming of those divine desserts!

LUNCH AT CAMÉLIA IN PARIS. En av höjdpunkterna under våran vistelse på The Mandarin Oriental i Paris var helt klart denna otroliga lunch på deras restaurang Camélia som är lokaliserad i deras otroligt vackra innergård. Köksmästaren är Thierry Marx som har en modern tagning på det klassiska franska köket.

Jag började lunchen med en sea bream tartar gjort på gurka, coconut och kaffir lime parfait. Johan tog deras bresse chicken gjort på terrine, foie gras, pickled girolles mushrooms med en sherry ‘xeres’ reduktion. Till huvudrätt tog jag deras blåa hummer i en öppen ravioli. Fantastiskt rakt igenom! Något ni verkligen inte får missa när ni är här är deras cake shop! De har de mest gudomliga bakverken. Johan tog deras kända Le Saint-Honoré bakverk medan jag tog deras mango upplevelse. Drömmer fortfarande om dessa otroliga bakverk!
