Caprice with an impressive open kitchen, a showcase of fine dining with the Pastry Chef in the forefront displaying rows of tempting desserts for all the guests.
The Michelin 2-star restaurant serves contemporary French cuisine in an upscale hotel with a spectacular harbor view. The holiday set lunch offered a good selection on appetizers and main course accompanied with a glass of house wine selected by the Sommelier.
For me and my husband, it was the dessert tray that looked so tempting and captured our attention. The passion fruit macarons, egg custard in a jar, dark chocolate cake, apricot napoleon, chocolate mousse cake….
I was watching the Pastry Chef skillfully putting his final touch before serving. I always felt a Pastry Chef needs to be a bit artistic; it is a piece of art in some way.
The bitterness of the dark chocolate cake, the crunchiness of the napoleon pastry mixing with the sweetness of apricot, the egg custard blended with dark rum syrup, the creamy chocolate mousse…. it would be perfect if there was a glass of Sauternes or late harvest Riesling to serve with the dessert!
It was a sweet ending to the 3-day holiday. And the impeccable service at Caprice was true to its fine dining root in the heart of French cuisine.
oooo someone’s getting very creative with taking photos….reflection of a glass of wine on a knife…very clever…
