BaseHall 02 celebrates Hong Kong’s annual French arts and gastronomy festival – Le French May – with a special three-day pop-up by L’Avenue, a renowned contemporary Parisian-style bistro from Shenzhen headed by former Sous-Chef of Belon, Arran McCredie. Occurring over three evenings from Thursday 25th until Saturday 27th May and on their first ever pop-up in Hong Kong since their restaurant opening, L’Avenue will offer an exclusive 7-course tasting menu priced at HK$1,288 + 10% service charge per guest, with an optional add-on wine pairing curated by La Cabane, the French wine institution that has stood at the forefront of Hong Kong’s natural wine movement since 2010.
Executive chef Arran McCredie has prepared a 7-course tasting menu that showcases L’Avenue’s progressive French bistro cuisine. Highlights of the experience include pressed foie gras topped with diced port jelly and toasted raisin bread; aged duck breast cooked on the bone with mulberry purée and sauce au poivre; and a dessert of tarte piémontaise, a sweet pastry tart case filled with hazelnut diplomat, chocolate ganache, and Frangelico jelly, topped with a hazelnut and cocoa nib tuille. Subject to availability, guests may also choose to order a special off-menu dish that is available in limited portions per day: ris de veau pan-fried veal sweetbread served with wilted wild garlic and glazed summer vegetables.
