Wave hello to 'Escale'.
GrégoireBerger released the third chapter in Ossiano's story with his 11-wave menu entitled, Escale. Translating as a stopover, diners are invited to join ChefGrégoireas he leaves his travels around Nantes, Bordeaux and the Pyrenées (where the former experience, Metanoia ended) and embarks on adventures anew. Having recently ranked 87th in The World's 50 Best Restaurants 2023 and 4th in the middle east and Africa's 50 Best Restaurants 2023, Dubai's leading one-Michelin-starred progressive fine dining restaurant delves into the tastes and flavours of the world.
Available until winter 2023, the 11-wave Escale menu will continue to pay homage to the riches of these and coastal land with all ingredients sustainably sourced from the oceans or within 50km of the coastline. As guests arrive withGrégoire at each location, they are invited to sample an array of seasonal ingredients and sublime favourites native to each area visited.
THE EXPERIENCE:
One notable moment takes place at the beginning of the meal, where guests are invited to enter the curtained room and join Grégoire in his departure from his beloved French coastline as the sounds of waves crash against the rocks.
This story is narrated through an extraordinary glowing plankton experience. Another note-worthy moment, entitled 'Cultures Blend, traditions meet', invites diners to join Grégoire on his first visit to the Big Apple, where the French coast’s bounty and New York’s vibrant streets, flavours and cultures intertwine. This experience transcends in the form of an American 'Hot Dog'...or is it?
A final firm favourite, ‘Looking through the prism of the past', invites diners to join Grégoire in the North of Canada for nights filled with music from strumming guitars and the sweet aroma of marshmallows onthe fire. Unexpectedly presented through a dish of onion, buckwheat, and marshmallow, it is within this dish that the prism of the past brings diners closer together.
Taking diners, a world away from the moment of arrival, guests descend into the subterranean dining room, submerging themselves 10 meters to the bottom of one of the world's largest aquariums. With the unique dining environment as its muse, Ossiano transports guests both visually and sensorially to the depths of the ocean.
