Le Ma’a Gourmand, renowned for his original culinary events, is creating a pop-up restaurant at the Bounty Lodge on Thursday, March 9th, 2023. This unique gourmet menu has been crafted for food lovers, offering an unprecedented dining experience for guests.
The menu begins with a sumptuous amuse-bouche composed of a creamy pumpkin soup, with a light coconut espuma, and a contrast of flavors and textures brought by the grilled chorizo brunoise and roasted pine nuts.
The entrée is a delicious sesame-crusted tataki of tuna, marinated for 24 hours in maracuja, a local exotic fruit. This dish is a perfect example of culinary fusion, marrying Japanese and Polynesian cooking techniques, as well as ingredients from both cultures.
The second entrée is a succulent flambéed shrimp panna cotta with old rum, coconut milk, curry, and spicy passion fruit jelly, all garnished with green onions. This dish is a true tribute to Creole cuisine, a blend of flavors and spices that perfectly represents the cultural diversity of Polynesia.
The main course is a rougail sausage in nori leaf, a traditional dish from Réunion that has been revisited by the Ma’a Gourmand chef. The rougail is accompanied by venere rice with small vegetables, which brings a perfect balance between flavors and textures.
Finally, for dessert, guests can enjoy a passion fruit tart revisited with an almond and hazelnut crumble, accompanied by a cloud of cocoa. The passion fruit brings a touch of acidity that perfectly balances the sweetness of the crumble, while the cocoa cloud adds a touch of indulgence to the end of the meal.
To top off this exceptional meal, a selection of coffees and teas will be offered to guests. The beverage choices have been carefully studied to complement the flavors of the gourmet menu and offer a complete taste experience.
All of this is served in an exceptional setting, with intimate tables scattered throughout the lodge to offer an unforgettable culinary experience. This gourmet menu is a true tribute to Polynesian culture and gastronomy, with a touch of creativity and innovation that highlight the culinary talents of Le Ma’a Gourmand.
