HÀ NỘI — The Sofitel Legend Metropole Hanoi, already renowned for its French roots and flair, will introduce to connoisseurs in Hà Nội a new menu at Le Club Bar that was inspired by the types of dishes served in traditional French brasseries.
Some highlights of the menu include the classic beef Bourguignon, showcasing tender beef slowly braised in red wine sauce; Burgundy escargots roasted in the shell with persillade butter; and the hand-cut steak tartare features the balance of savoury and sour, to intermingle into a dish that is beloved across brasseries throughout France.
Other standouts include enduring favourites like the croque-monsieur with white ham and homemade bechamel sauce, the French onion soup topped with emmental cheese. Lighter dishes include Đà Lạt artichoke, pan-roasted black cod with velouté sauce, and salad Niçoise.
The brasserie menu was designed by chef Raphael Kinimo, who, before joining the Metropole last year, honed his culinary craft in some of France’s most celebrated restaurants. His authentic dishes draw on his experience in the 3-Michelin-Star Paul Bocuse and at the Jour de Marché in Lyon. He also worked under master chef Joel Robuchon at the 3-Michelin-Star l’Atelier de Robuchon in London’s Covent Garden.
Le Club Bar, which features an elegant 1920’s colonial ambiance, offers a relaxed setting suited to traditional brasserie fare. The venue is also home to nightly (except Mondays) live jazz performances.
The new brasserie menu at Le Club Bar is served from August 26. For further information, please contact +84 24 3826 6919, ext 8200. — VNS
