Elements, inspired by Ciel Bleu Unveils ‘Autumn Guestronomic Dining Journey’
By Lifestyle+Travel
MICHELIN-Starred restaurant Elements, inspired by Ciel Bleu at The Okura Prestige Bangkok invites you to experience its new ‘Autumn Guestronomic Dining Journey’, featuring an array of autumn-inspired fares created by Chef Gerard Villaret Horcajo and his team.
As lush green leaves turn red, orange, and brown, the weather gets cooler, yet the ambience gets warmer and comforting. Chef Gerard’s autumn offerings are, therefore, characterised by herbs, spices and hearty ingredients, at the side of lighter touches to classic French cuisine and exquisite premium seasonal produce from Japan. Always seeking to be playful and bold, he often uses tow sauces in a dish so as to provide complex flavour range and contrasts.
Warm, tangy and full of a inspiring seasonal essence, highlights of the autumn menu includes succulent ‘chutoro’ with marbled Kombu, daikon and hijiki; ‘Hokkaido scallop’ with eryngii (oyster mushroom), sherry and scallop-bushi (cured, cold smoked and dried scallop); ‘canard en croute de sel – on the bone’ with togarashi (Japanese mixed chilli and spices), confit Cannellonis, and foie gras; ‘A5 Miyagi wagyu – Baba’ with Pommes Dauphine, shallot and umeboshi; and signature ‘binchotan’ with Japanese whisky, citrus and milk chocolate.
The ‘Autumn Guestronomic Set Journey’ is available from 23 September 2022, from 18:00 to 22:30, with prices starting from THB 4,800++ per person. For more information and reservations, please call +66 (0) 2 687 9000 or email elements@okurabangkok.com
