Le Jardin de Cheval Blanc is an ephemeral restaurant on the roof of the Cheval Blanc lodge that runs from June 2 to October 1. The house is lush with bushes and different plantings, and the crimson and white theme – which extends from the desk settings to the workers uniforms – appears like vacation. The crimson theme additionally extends to the meals – Arnaud Donckele (the chef of the three-star restaurant downstairs) supposedly collaborated with chef William Béquin to create the tomato and strawberry themed menu. And by theme, we imply that EVERY dish accommodates tomato or strawberry. Tomato fatigue units in after the second or third plate that’s constructed across the ingredient, so I don’t advocate ordering numerous meals. It’s a bizarre menu that rambles between non-sensical classes like “les farinages” (flour-based meals) and it’s egregiously costly. A slim portion of sea bass with out accompaniments is 48€, and the most affordable rosé (that may run you 15€ on the grocery retailer) is marked as much as 105€. In the event you’re involved about cash, or ingesting meals, this isn’t a spot for you. In case your funds permits, I like to recommend coming right here for a drink and a nibble early earlier than consuming an actual meal some place else. Or come throughout a warmth wave when chilled tomato soup and a rooftop breeze are the most effective issues conceivable.
