12-13 November: Louise x Odette Exclusive Collaboration Menu

The evening begins with a selection of grignotages, offering a playful introduction to the chefs’ culinary approach. Highlights include Oyster with green Tabasco and liveche      (French for lovage), combining briny freshness with a lively touch of heat and sweetness; Carrot Tart with cumin and coriander and Potatoes & Seaweed Croustillant with burnt cream and the rich marine flavours of sea urchin.

The menu continues with Scallop, accompanied by silky vichyssoise, fragrant leek oil and caviar, followed by Parmesan Agnolotti with orange and saffron. For the seafood course, Atlantic Cod is paired with Jerusalem artichoke, the richness of bisque and the warm fragrance of tonka.

A centerpiece of the evening is the Pie “Grande Tradition” Pigeon, with Bresse chicken and foie gras stuffed in the pie. Paying homage to the grand traditions of French cuisine, this elaborate preparation celebrates the technical precision and generosity that define the cooking of both chefs.

The experience concludes with two desserts by Head Pastry Chef Eve Minialai: Yoghurt with honey and toasted walnut, offering a refreshing interlude, followed by Clementine with grilled chestnut and hazelnut praliné, a comforting seasonal finale that balances bright citrus with warm, nutty flavours.

An optional wine pairing has been selected to complement the progression of the menu, featuring an eclectic selection of wines including Clandestin Boreal “Cuvée Spéciale Louise” 2022, Knewitz Riesling Trocken 2024, Kindeli Naranja 2024 and Muscadet Rouchier Saint-Joseph La Chave 2021. The evening concludes with a Sauternes Cru Barrejat 1998, accompanying the final dessert.

With only two evenings available, this special collaboration offers Hong Kong diners a rare opportunity to experience Chef Julien Royer and Chef Loïc Portalier cooking together at Louise, celebrating their longstanding culinary relationship and the French heritage that continues to inspire both restaurants.
