Mirèio's chef de cuisine, Laurence Garduce, has crafted a special four-course set menu inspired by France's rich culinary heritage.
This menu is priced at P5,500++. Mirèio invited the media for a preview of the Bastille Day offerings. It was a simple menu, a refreshing change from the multi-course (sometimes more than 10 courses!) menus offered by many establishments lately.
The appetizer was salade de chèvre chaud — warm goat cheese, hazelnut, mesclun, and classic vinaigrette. The dish was tangy and savory, a good start to whet one's appetite for the rest of the meal. Next was the soupe de poisson — a traditional Provençal fish soup served with toasted baguette, rouille, and grated parmigiano.
For the main course, we tried the melt-in-your-mouth black angus fillet mignon with truffle-infused mashed potatoes. It was also served with grilled vegetables and a creamy green peppercorn sauce. The dish was flavorful, exceptionally tender, and excellently cooked by the Mirèio staff.
Ending the meal on a sweet note, we indulged in the pistachio crème brûlée, a creamy custard with a satisfyingly caramelized su.
