The Best of French “Bistronomie”

The best of “bistro” and “gastronomy” have been brought to Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts restaurants around the world in its latest “Bistronomie” food promotion, which runs from October 20 to November 20, 2017.

Taking inspiration from a trend that started in France two decades ago and has now become a global culinary movement, the hospitality group’s talented chefs have created seven exclusive “Bistronomie” dishes.

The “Bistronomie” concept was conceived in the 1990s when young French chefs with haute cuisine training re-interpreted classic dishes and served them in a new breed of casual, less stuffy, bistro-style restaurants. Today, “Bistronomie” is synonymous with high-quality French cuisine with a twist and Mövenpick, which is renowned for its culinary expertise, has mastered it.

Made from the best quality ingredients and prepared to perfection, the seven dishes on the new “Bistronomie” menu include “Salade Niçoise,” “Plateau de Fruits de Mer” (Seafood Platter), “Moules Marinières” (Mussels with Garlic and Sweet Cream Butter), “Cabillaud à la Bordelaise” (Cod Fillet), “Pot au Feu à la Bourgeoise” (Beef Topside Hot Pot) and “Cordon-bleu au Comté” (Veal Rump Steak).

In line with the company’s commitment to offering personalized experiences, the individual preferences and tastes of guests have been taken into consideration, with vegetarian options available – “Pot au Feu Végétarien” (Vegetable Hot Pot), for example. In addition, some dishes such as the seafood platter are customizable to include specific ingredients selected by diners.

Guests with a sweet tooth are also in for a treat with Mövenpick’s version of “Café Gourmand,” a French take on the British “afternoon tea.” The “Bistronomie Café Gourmand” combines aromatic Mövenpick coffee with “Reine de Saba” (“Queen of Sheba”), an irresistible chocolate cake baked with Mövenpick’s very own 72 percent cocoa Swiss chocolate.

“When it comes to gastronomy, Mövenpick is a pioneer, known for its culinary innovation and ability to create classic dishes with a twist, which is very much akin to the “Bistronomie” movement,” said Olivier Chavy, president and CEO of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.

Thomas Hollenstein, director of Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts Food & Beverage Europe who has led the team of chefs developing the “Bistronomie” dishes, added, “We have encapsulated the essence of French cuisine, but in a fresh and exciting form and, importantly, acknowledging the personal tastes of our discerning diners and guests around the world.”

Guests may experience this special limited offer at Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu.
