From February 1-7, Plums restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain Hotel & Spa is where you need to be to sample haute treats from the French Riviera. The special event offers a unique a la carte menu created by one of the hotel’s most talented chefs, Yann Bernard Lejard, reflecting traditional dishes from Cannes to Monte Carlo. Among the new items on the seasonal menu are mini stuffed Mediterranean vegetables accompanied by foie gras and zucchini coulis. For the main course, chef Yann recommends the seafood platter, which combines oysters, mussels, clams, shrimps and garlic mayonnaise. Another highlight is the bouillabaisse prepared with the local catch of the day, rouille sauce, croutons and emmental cheese. To round up your French Riviera experience, try the roasted pineapple with vanilla, fresh fruit taboulé and mango sorbet. As the event is happening during the first GCC Cancer Awareness Week, the Plums team is partnering up with Bahrain Cancer Society for its “Bon Appétit for Hope” programme, and will be collecting BD1 per person per bill to support the Bahrain Cancer Society fund.
