Authentic culinary delights

Antoine Leroyer, the right hand of chef Maryon Gandon at Hotel Barrière Le Majestic in Cannes, in duo with Michael Durieux, pastry chef of the Majestic, helped by Hugo Motreff and Eric Gérard, created an elegant and refined menu, composing a “Festival” of flavors that enchanted the many guests of this gastronomic dinner of Chefs au Sommet d’Auron.

Délice sculptural

Alliance of Sun, Earth and Water

Amuse-bouche: Consommé of hen with Ravioles of Comté and grated Truffle.
To built up an appetite, an island crowned with a brown hair of truffle filaments emerges from a succulent full-bodied consommé, with well-marked hen flavour, ennobled with the fresh truffle that diffuses its enthralling perfume. The ravioles bring a sensation of smoothness in the mouth, which contrasts with the “pearls” of the hen in the consommé. An alliance of products from the earth for an explosion of flavors, sunny with a touch of lemon emulsion. That lets you swim in happiness!

Consommé de Poule

Starter: Amandine of Trout with Morels, light Hollandaise Sauce with aromas of Pine Needles.
In a harmony of warm colors, a round and appetizing pie of puff pastry, crowned with petals of almonds beautifully gilded, wears a collar of morels in smooth unctuous sauce. The puffy and generous hollandaise sauce subtlety spices up the trout delicate flesh with its notes of freshness. After the truffle, the morel reminds of walks in the forest and exhalations of undergrowth and fragrant pine needles, then rewarded with the grandmother’s dish of our childhood.

Amandine de Noix de Truite aux Morilles

Main dish: Tournedos of Beef Cheek, Granité with the Marrow, traditional Vegetables.
After the charm of living water, here is the seduction of the earth. There is a dialogue between the crunch of the young carrots, on a bed of sweet potimarron puree planted with tender little mushrooms, and the fondant of the beef cheek, with its so characteristic taste. The full-bodied juice brings its powerful voice in this harmony for a warm music on the palate. The cheek of beef finds its letters of nobility in a plate with an artistic composition!

Tournedos de Joue de Bœuf

Dessert: Mont Blanc Chestnut Clementine, thin Chocolate leaf, crunchy Lutin Hat, Granité de Vin chaud.
Pastry chef Michael Durieux signs a masterpiece as apotheose, a genuine sculpture that delights pupils and taste buds, in a festival of textures and flavors. An “S” of chocolate winds between three summits of delights; the ingredients intermingle and blend into flavors and textures: crispy caramel mesh, mouthfuls of meadow rosés in melting meringue, freshness of the clementine and suave sweetness of the chestnut.
After climbing this Mont Blanc of tastes, it was appropriate, once the summit reached, to quench its thirst with a cup of extraordinary Granité de Vin chaud with its speculoos ice-cream!
