Banyan Tree Phuket to Host Three-Star Michelin Chef

The all-villa Banyan Tree Phuket will host Christian Le Squer, the celebrated French chef of the three-star Michelin Ledoyen Restaurant in Paris, who will share his passion for French gastronomy from 5 to 8 August 2009 this summer.

He will collaborate with the resort’s Brazilian Executive Chef, Alex Nassar, for this gastronomic festival at Tré - the exclusive contemporary French Vietnamese restaurant located within Banyan Tree Phuket’s exclusive DoublePool Villa enclave.

Hailing from Brittany, Chef Le Squer marries native flavours with the natural resources of the land. His creations are simple and unique, a deliberate technique honed through years of experience.

Chef Le Squer said, “I want the guest to forget about the technique and details of cooking. I wish to offer something beyond just technical skills, something that is a holistic culinary experience whereby what is important is the movement, the aromas, the magical sense of flavours, the infinite surprises that come together to create this unique marriage of products.”

To celebrate the visit of Chef Le Squer, Banyan Tree Phuket has launched a “Sense of Occasion” promotion. The package combines a minimum three-night stay with daily breakfast for two, and one gastronomic four-course menu for two diners. Rates start from THB 10,750+++ per Deluxe Villa per night and are valid until 7 August 2009. Dinner-only rates, with no accommodation, are priced at THB 5,999 nett per person.

The “Sense of Occasion” package includes exclusive creations by Chef Le Squer such as red wine marinated foie gras terrine; beetroot and smoked eel; truffle crusted turbot filet; and la ratte potato and truffle emulsion. The menu also includes wine paired by Master French Winemaker, Pascal Jolivet, who will also be making a guest appearance during the event.
