New Menu “Vue Sur La Mer”
Chef Delcourt and his team are delighted to debut the new “Vue Sur La Mer” menu on July 25th. The menu is a discovery of the exceptional cuisine from Adrien, which pays homage to the mentors throughout his career and celebrates the best seasonal produce which the sea has to offer. Diners are welcomed with a fresh infusion of hibiscus which not only opens but also refreshes the palates for what lies ahead.
Why "Madame FAN"
The opening of Madame FAN is the fruit of my reflection, a true tribute to the modernity of Chinese cuisine, breaking free from the confines of traditional classifications. I strive to capture 100% of the authenticity of Chinese flavors, enhanced by 30% with Western presentation techniques, for a final result that dares 130% innovation. For the Chinese, our cuisine awakens a deep, familiar nostalgia; for foreigners, it serves as an open window to the rich cultural and historical abundance of China. Madame FAN aims to offer an unprecedented sensory adventure, where each dish tells its own story, merging the elegance of Chinese dining with the sophistication of French culinary art.
