Jean-Georges Vongerichten opens new restaurant at The Connaught
米其林三星主厨Jean-Georges Vongerichten在凯莱德酒店开设全新餐厅
国际知名法籍厨师 Jean -Georges Vongerichten 在伦敦顶级酒店凯莱德酒店(The Connaught)内开设新餐厅Jean-Georges at The Connaught。餐厅坐落在伦敦市中心的梅菲尔区(Mayfair)，宾客可在餐厅内欣赏蒙特街 (Mount Street) 繁华的街景。大隐于市的餐厅环境惬意、装潢现代，全天候为食客提供休闲餐饮体验。
Jean-Georges at The Connaught餐厅不落俗套的菜单灵感除了来自大厨Jean-Georges的经典法国烹饪技艺以及对亚洲美食风味的运用外，还结合了其早年在伦敦工作时炮制炸鱼薯条、传统下午茶等英式经典的经验。网罗英国食材精粹，餐厅菜单体现了Jean-Georges所推崇的由当地农场供应简单食材，精心烹制成新鲜佳肴的做法，与其在纽约The Mark酒店内的Jean-Georges餐厅、ABC Kitchen餐厅以及新开业的创意素食餐馆ABCV的理念一脉相承。
Vongerichten 在Jean-Georges at The Connaught 开业典礼上表示: “我很高兴能够重回伦敦，这个世界上最具活力的美食胜地之一。我走遍世界各地，这座城市的动感和多元化让我印象尤为深刻。The Connaught是我当年来到伦敦后住过的第一家酒店，对我而言有一份特殊情结。能够延续这家酒店的悠久美食传统，我深感荣幸。”
Internationally renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten has opened his new restaurant, Jean-Georges at The Connaught, in one of London’s most distinguished hotels. Overlooking fashionable Mount Street in the heart of Mayfair the restaurant will offer informal dining throughout the day in a relaxed, contemporary, neighbourhood setting.
The eclectic menus at Jean-Georges at The Connaught are inspired by both Jean-Georges’ classic French training and signature use of Asian flavours, whilst also featuring his distinctive take on British classics from Fish & Chips to traditional afternoon tea, influenced by his earlier working life in London. Sourcing the best of British ingredients, the menus will reflect the simple farm to table fresh approach long pioneered by Jean-Georges, similar to his New York restaurants at The Mark, ABC Kitchen and most recently the pioneering vegan eatery ABCV.
Commentating on his opening at The Connaught Vongerichten said, “I am so excited to be returning to London at such a vibrant and dynamic time. I’m constantly travelling the world and it’s always the energy and diversity of this capital city that stimulates me most. The Connaught, the first hotel I ever visited in London holds a very special place in my heart, and I am honoured to play a part in its long culinary legacy’.
