BURRATA AND ITS LITTLE CABBAGES, NASTURTIUM FLOWER

It is a healthy and delicious appetizer made with Italian Burrata cheese and small cabbage. The texture of Burrata cheese is firm which is good to eat in pieces. If you are not familiar with cheese, try to eat it with the cabbage which adds crunchy texture and refreshing flavor.

ROASTED BASS FILLET, CREAM OF CELERY SOUP

After the appetizer, the first meal will be served. If you have two main dishes in France, they usually come in the order of fish first, then meat. The roasted bass fillet is crispy outside but has a soft texture on the inside and the meal also comes a creamy celery cream soup. If you have ordered a wine pairing menu, a glass of white wine will be served as a perfect match for a fish dish.

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON AND PEPINETTES CREAM

One of the French famous dishes is Boeuf Bourguignon. The translation is beef steamed dish cooked with red wine from the Burgundy region. By cooking the beef with the wine, the wine flavors intergrate and give the beef its flavor. The Boeuf Bourguignon from BUSTRONOME is very soft and well-cooked. The pepinettes cream is a kind of pasta, made of oats, grains, and eggs, and it looks like rice but the texture is similar to pasta. The addition of pasta completes the dish and at the same time its light taste makes a great combination with Boeuf Bourguignon. It is best to drink red wine with a meat dish. 

MANGO AND PASSION FRUIT ENTREMET

For dessert, a cake made with mango and passion fruit is prepared, with white chocolate added to the sides of the cake. It is an excellent dessert option, perfect after a full meal.
