Time for a French twist, as Michelin-starred eateries offer new experiences
Spoon by Alain Ducasse and Seasons by Olivier E. are revamping their offerings for summer
Two French Michelin-starred restaurants in town have revamped their menus to entice diners for some gourmet fare. Spoon by Alain Ducasse has a set dinner that offers healthier dishes, while Seasons by Olivier E. offers a variety of flavours for summer.
Chef-owner Olivier Elzer’s restaurant is still going strong after two years, and we were invited to try some new dishes and signature ones.
A new starter, the red prawn carpaccio was a pretty plate: the carabinero shrimp thinly sliced and seasoned, topped with pink radish slices, assorted tomatoes and small cubes of tamarillo ice cream for a subtle sweetness.
This contrasted with a signature abalone dish, a riff on traditional Alsatian dishes where Elzer is from. Here he dices the tender abalone meat,mixes it with sauerkraut and tops it with horseradish foam and truffles for a gourmet touch.
