Celebrate French GourMay at The Parisian Macao's Brasserie With Special 'Surrealism' Menu this May

Savour the finest French gastronomy as art at authentic bistro

(Macao, Apr. 29 2021) – The Parisian Macao's signature restaurant Brasserie will present a celebratory four-course set menu from May 1-31, 2021 as part of French GourMay 2021, an annual French food and wine festival that takes place in Hong Kong and Macao throughout the month.

The theme of this year's festival is a 'food art journey with a taste of surrealism'. In addition to the usual authentic French flavours on offer at Brasserie, diners can expect highly aesthetic plate presentation and a colourful feast for the senses.

Guests start the meal with an appetiser of marinated yellowfin tuna and compressed watermelon and tomato water with beetroot coulis which presents an explosion of vivid red, like paint across a palette. The second course combines prime beef tartare with shoestring potatoes, topped with quail egg and wheat grass, to artfully convey a rustic farm scene.

The main courses of roasted barbary duck breast with fig carpaccio, poached fig, parsnip puree and port wine jus evokes a classic French country impressionist painting, while prawns with smoked arctic char, scallop and salmon incorporates sauerkraut, squid ink and white beurre blanc sauce to create a surreal black and white checkerboard. Finally a dessert comprising yoghurt mousse, apricot jelly and peach sherbet suggests an intriguing still life.

A creative treat for both the eyes and palate, the menu is only available for dinner, priced at MOP 528* per person. Guests can also add MOP 288* to pair dishes with a selection of outstanding French wines.

Reservations can be made by calling +853 8111 9200 or emailing brasserie.reservation@sands.com.mo.
