Sofitel Saigon Plaza is set to redefine the afternoon tea experience in Ho Chi Minh City with the reintroduction of Le Goûter, a French-inspired culinary event that marries the elegance of French pastry with the vibrant flavors of Vietnam. Starting December 5, 2024, this exquisite offering will be available every Tuesday to Sunday from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM at the hotel's Le17 Bistro restaurant, promising a unique gastronomic journey for its guests.
At the core of Le Goûter is a meticulously crafted menu by French Chef Robin Mouquet, whose expertise, honed in Michelin-starred kitchens alongside culinary giants like Alain Ducasse, Pierre Gagnaire, and Pierre Hermé, brings an innovative fusion of traditional French pastry techniques and rich Vietnamese flavors. Each day, guests will be treated to a selection of freshly prepared pastries, elegantly presented on a sophisticated white trolley, allowing for a personalized and interactive dining experience.
Highlighting the menu are the Mont Blanc and Paris Brest, two standout creations that embody the essence of French culinary artistry. The Mont Blanc, inspired by the Alps' highest peak, combines a crispy meringue base with a hint of blueberry tartness, while the Paris Brest, a nod to France's oldest cycling race, features golden pate à choux filled with creamy Hazelnut Mousseline. These offerings are complemented by an exceptional selection of teas from The Teamakers Private Reserve collection by Dilmah and sustainable Vietnamese coffee from Folliett Coffee, with the option to elevate the experience with Pommery Brut Reserve Champagne.
Mr. Alistair Minty, Acting General Manager of Sofitel Saigon Plaza, highlights the significance of Le Goûter as a cultural bridge between French and Vietnamese traditions, positioning the hotel as a premier destination for those seeking a luxurious and culturally rich afternoon tea experience. This initiative not only underscores Sofitel Saigon Plaza's commitment to gastronomic excellence but also its role in enhancing Ho Chi Minh City's culinary landscape.
