MÖVENPICK HOTELS & RESORTS UNVEILS 7 DISHES TO CELEBRATE 70 YEARS OF CULINARY INNOVATION

-

Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts is kick-starting 2018 with a burst of gastronomi­c vision and flavor as its parent company, the Mövenpick Group, celebrates seven decades of culinary excellence and innovation.

Thomas Hollenstei­n, its Food and Beverage Director Europe, and his team of chefs, have unveiled a menu of seven remarkable dishes that marry the old with the new--popular classics and guest favorites reimagined for the modern palate, inspired by cuisines and gastronomy trends from around the world.

The “70 years of culinary excellence” promotion is available in restaurant­s at all Mövenpick properties globally, including Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu, from March 10 to April 20. This introduces seven inventive dishes that pay tribute to Ueli Prager, who when founding the Mövenpick brand in 1948, redefined the European restaurant scene and paved the way for a new style of modern hospitalit­y, based on a simple premise: “doing normal things in an extraordin­ary manner.”

Just as Prager introduced diners to unpretenti­ous cuisine with a twist, such as curry-based Riz Casimir--a first in Europe--so 70 years on, Mövenpick chefs have created an inspiring menu of uncomplica­ted but surprising creations, all of which use fresh, authentic and health-promoting ingredient­s.

They include: Scallops and avocado tartare--a reinventio­n of Mövenpick’s popular beef tartare, influenced by Mediter- ranean cuisine; salade belle fermière--a lively interpreta­tion of Salade François, made famous in the 1948 American musical film, “Easter Parade”; mille feuille saumon and caviar d’olive--savory take combining delicate smoked salmon, puff pastry and golden olive caviar; mushrooms and vegetables Zurich style-meat-free version of Zurich-style veal that pairs aromatic root vegetables and smoky Shitake mushrooms; seafood Casimir--a medley of steamed seafood, fish and salicornia (sea asparagus), and an assortment of citrus fillets, paired with wild rice; bare beef burger Café de Paris--a prime beef cut paired with crispy ultrathin parmesan-dusted fries; and carrot waffle--a quirky reinterpre­tation of classic Swiss carrot cake.

Experience this special limited offer when you visit Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu. For more details, e-mail hotel.cebu@movenpick.com or call (+6332) 492-7777.
