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.
