Mauritius: New Herb Garden BBQ Experience at Shanti Maurice

Shanti Maurice in Mauritius has introduced a new luxury private dining experience in the heart of its vegetable and herb garden. The Herb Garden BBQ includes a special degustation menu, tailored wine flight and service by a personal butler and chefs. Guests as well as non-residents of the luxury resort can enjoy the five-course gourmet menu, which will be available year-round from August 2013.

After a Champagne welcome, diners are served canapés in the garden lounge while a team of chefs select and prepare the fresh ingredients. These are transformed into a private gourmet meal to be enjoyed in the resort’s ‘garden kitchen’, with each of the five courses paired with a suitable wine.

Created by the hotel’s Executive Chef Willibald Reinbacher, the special menu changes seasonally but showcases the local cuisines and ingredients of Mauritius. This new offering has been introduced following the success of Shanti Maurice’s 15 Mile Menu, which features produce caught, farmed, bred or raised from within 15 miles of the hotel.  Available for either lunch or dinner, the new BBQ menu can also be tailor made to suit guests’ preferences.

Sample highlights on the Herb Garden BBQ menu include; Yellow Fin Tuna with Garden Herbs, Lobster and Lime achar Churascaria (grilled and shaved corn) and Ombrine in Banana Leaf. Diners may also be treated to succulent tenderloin Wagyu Beef, barbequed and finished with foie gras sourced from the neighbouring village.  Dessert options might include a charcoal fruit fondue - a blend of barbequed fruits with lollipops of Baked Alaska, truffle marshmallow and spiced brownie.

The Herb Garden BBQ is available to pre-order for between two and six diners. The minimum charge is MUR 30,000 MUR per dinner, which is MUR 5,000pp based on six dining, or MUR 15,000pp for two. Price includes all food and drinks as indicated.
