TERRA MARIQUE
menu
Taking their cue from their island’s elemental landscape, the Cyprus national culinary team bring to the table a menu merging the bounties of land and sea.
In the same way as sun-ripened fields yield their harvest, and as richly as Mediterranean waves teem with marine life, the island’s culinary professionals have created an epicurean vision in three courses.
United by inventive accents from Mediterranean, European and Asian cuisine, the starter features a choreography of turbot, oysters and razor clams.
From brine to meadow, the main course follows, with variations on veal, seductively paired with black truffle, foie gras cream and the island’s world-renowned potatoes.
Culminating in pure, confectionery decadence, the dessert lays siege to the senses with a medley of white chocolate, cream cheese and berries, closing on a bright and luscious note.
