Ah – if only time could stand still for a moment! This wish may cross your mind as you taste Angelo Rosseel’s subtle fare. This sensitive chef harnesses his consummate technical prowess to craft distinctive and inventive recipes that intuitively blend the flavours of carefully selected ingredients. Chef Rosseel’s cuisine, which is divinely crafted, sensual and delicate, seeks to draw out the best of each ingredient, often underpinned by exquisite sauces. His weakness for fresh Mediterranean flavours shines through in recipes such as flawlessly fresh seabream flanked by briny bouchot mussels and fennel, cooked and à la crème, which adds an intense aniseed edge to the dish, while a beurre blanc elegantly rounds off each flavour. La Durée keeps pace with the seasons and the wine list matches the chef’s suave creations. A majestic villa, dripping in natural details and modern elegance, provides the setting for this one-of-a-kind dining experience.
