(drinks media wire) - Executive Chef Eric Briffard has prepared a palette of seasonal ingredients and flavours at Four Seasons Hotel George V Paris this autumn.

Starters include Chef Briffard's famous specialty, Mediterranean red tuna belly tartare with caviar, green apple gelée and wasabi served with crunchy and tangy vegetables. Other choices are Bordeaux ceps in a creamy risotto with casserole of fig leaves, pork shoulder and fresh walnuts; and duck foie gras from the Landes region roasted with white miso, sake, daikon radish confit and tangy pear.
In addition to pearly scallops served carbonara style with bacon strips, botargo (cured fish roe) shavings and pumpkin puree, seasonal fish and shelfish choices include fresh-caught sole, john dory from the Vendée coast, and blue lobster.
White Alba truffles are showcased in a floral symphony of autumn flavours, enhancing pearly scallops, or with parmesan cream and arugula pesto over freshly made pasta.
Meat and poultry menu items include a medley of pork from the Franche-Comté region; French venison with a vinaigrette sauce of pepper and cocoa; free range, free raised veal roasted with linden flowers and green peppercorns; and a grey partridge, mallard and grouse pithivier (French pie) with chestnut honey and autumn fruit.
