The talented chef earned his first Michelin star when he served as the executive chef of the iconic Le Jules Verne, the fine-dining gem atop the Eiffel Tower in Paris. He also earned his chops through extensive prior experience with renowned chefs like Frederic Anton, Axel Menes, and David Bizet and more than a decade of experience in starred restaurants. With a massively extensive resume, the talented chef’s creations are definitely on the must-try list to try if one is planning their Phuket itinerary. Well-versed in innovating creative seasonal menus, Chef Delcourt and his team of experts have created an all-new “Vue Sur La Mer” menu.

The detectable “Vue Sur La Mer” menu of delights takes a guest on a gastronomical journey through exceptionally mouth-watering yet artistic cuisine. The meticulously curated menu pays homage to the mentors throughout his career and celebrates the abundance and freshness of seasonal produce the ocean has to offer.

Diners are first welcomed with a fresh infusion of hibiscus which not only kickstarts the palate but also refreshes it for the divine dining that lies ahead. The menu celebrates the beauty of the ocean and the treasures it provides — with the net cast wide — with ingredients such as Japanese Sea-Urchin, Norwegian black Cod, and Kaviari’s Oscietra Caviar. In addition to imported products, local produce and ingredients like local rock fish forms are also incorporated to give dishes cultural flair.

Given the spectacular oceanside location and focus on the finest seafood the ocean can offer, L’ARÔME BY THE SEA is the ideal establishment for seafood lovers. For those that prefer succulent poultry and tender red meats, fret not, as diners are also treated to a roasted pigeon — for the main — that comes from Klong Pai farm in Thailand or Japanese Wagyu beef.

The luxurious blend shows a complex pairing between land and sea with a poached Atlantic Langoustine being served inside of a roti shell and paired with a delightfully creamy foie-gras jus. This dish shows off the mastery of key elements in Adrien’s culinary pillars — technique, savoir-faire and delicate balance.
