Mezzaluna - Michelin Two-Starred Restaurant with a View Launches New Spring Menu

The use of seasonal ingredients has been long valued in Japan. ‘Shun’ in Japanese refers to a time of year when ingredients are at its freshest and most flavourful. To coincide with the ‘Sakura’ (cherry blossom) and spring season, Mezzaluna (Two Michelin Stars) at The lebua hotel will be introducing a new spring menu focusing on the best spring produce from Japan and France.

“My menus are driven by seasonal produce and this one is no different. It focuses on fresh spring ingredients from Japan, as I'm always excited by the spring season in my home country.

“We will harmonise the flavours of France and Japan by using French and Japanese cooking techniques to deliver customers an unique tasting experience” says Chef de Cuisine, Mezzaluna Chef Ryuki Kawasaki.

Mezzaluna’s new Spring Menu is available now for 6,500++THB per person for 7 courses.

Hachimantai Salmon smoked a la minute with golden trout roe, udo, urui, cedro lemon emulsion, yogurt sorbet.
