Le Meurice chef Amaury Bouhours' dishes on takeaway and delivery

Good news for foodies missing starred cuisine: Hotel Le Meurice extends its room service to the entire Paris and the inner suburbs of Paris! In order to support producers, the prestigious Parisian palace turns the ovens on again to treat the French capital and starts a take-away service.

To celebrate sunny days, Amaury Bouhours unveils his spring menu. Sticking to his guidelines, the chef highlight products 95% from France (not easy to find pepper in France, but berries are selected there). Go for the nice products from the French territoire selected for their qualities.

Beyond delighting fine gourmets' taste buds, the chef - like the Palace - supports producers and suppliers he works with, an approach already initiated during the first lockdown, back to this past spring. Please note Le Meurice works with products and tries to make zero waste, everything is used to prevent waste. Furthermore, the delivery service is provided in by a tricycle by Olvo to limit the ecologic impact as much as possible.

But then, what do you have in this menu changing every three months? Discover a menu featuring 3 starters, 3 main courses, and 3 desserts created by Cédric Grolet, the pastry chef. Everything is packed in separate boxes and instructions tell you how to easily heat your dishes up.

This spring, enjoy:

As a starter:

• White Asparagus / mustard seeds / bitter broth
  Deliciously smooth asparagus with real mustard seeds and bitter broth to shake the taste buds up, a wonderful, light and highly seasonal discovery.

• Barely cooked Gilthead seabream / Allonnes carrots / Bachès citrus fruit juice
  A very fine dish highlighted by the enchanting smell of Bachès citrus fruits. You will love it just by the smell of it.

• Soft-boiled free range egg / Braised lettuce / Olives
  A nice soft-boiled egg, refreshing herb jus, twister with olives, we love it.

As a main course:

• Veal fillet / Baby turnips / Seaweeds and Croisicsprouts
  Perfectly cooked veal, deliciously soft, taking us in a twirl of deliciousness with its divine jus. Still firm turnips, herbs, and seaweeds bring something highly indulging and fresh.

• Cod / Green Latour asparagus / Fresh herb condiment
  Perfectly cooked cod with herb jus and barely seared asparagus, here is how to delight you with freshness.

• Camargue rice / Baby artichoke / La Caverne shiitake
  This fried rice is so good with a nice taste of shiitake mushroom and the baby artichoke, both firm and smooth, a wonderful treat. Perfect for veggies looking for a dish other than salad.

As a dessert:

• Citron Noir
  The Citron Noir is incredible, friends. If you love sourness with no extra sugar like us, you will be very happy.

• Pomme Cidre
  The taste of Canada Reinette Grise apple flavored with cider is worth it.

• Big Brest
  This Paris Brest is definitely worth it. Undoubtedly one of the most indulging ones in town!
