A Taste of Our Own Culinary Expedition

We dived straight into the “Menu Marc”, a melting pot of Marc’s time-honored and innovative creations. Beginning with an array of delightful nibbles, we then transitioned to a creamy yellow gazpacho, enhanced with red prawns, lemon verbena, smoked cucumbers, and zesty marinated sardines. And here’s a fun touch: they pour the soup right before your eyes!

Though intrigued, we sidestepped the eel dish and opted for delicacies from the Degustation Menu instead: the zest-filled marinated tuna belly and a sumptuous foie gras terrine. This was followed by another warm treat: a pea and lemongrass soup enriched with aloe vera, served atop salt cod and sprinkled with samphire.

The star dish? A succulent duck breast, paired beautifully with eucalyptus, turnips, and pineapple cubes. As a sweet conclusion, we savored a Mediterranean peach, slow-cooked to perfection, alongside irresistible Turkish delight ice cream, crunchy pistachio, and aromatic ‘Baharat’ spices.

Pour and Pair: Wines Galore

The beverage list, particularly the wines, is extensive, spotlighting picks from Spain, France, and Italy. Both red and white lovers have three distinct options, and yes, Mallorca finds its worthy mention in both. While Fosh’s branded wines are delightful, it’s intriguing that their origins trace back to the Peninsula rather than local terrains.

It’s no surprise that this hotspot sees a full house regularly. So, a word to the wise: reserve your spot ahead of time.
