The Royal Mansour Casablanca is preparing to host two exceptional evenings that promise to be nothing short of culinary artistry. On October 3 and 4, the hotel’s signature restaurant, La Brasserie, will welcome the celebrated chef Éric Frechon for an exclusive dining experience crafted as a true journey into the heart of fine French cuisine.
A titan of the gastronomic world, Frechon holds three Michelin stars and the prestigious title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France. He has shaped the culinary identity of La Brasserie since its inception, and for these two special nights, he returns with a bespoke menu designed as a multi-sensory narrative—one that blends tradition, creativity, and technical mastery.
The evening begins with bold, unexpected pairings: a delicate foie gras tartlet lifted by a cherry gelée, tandoori-spiced prawns served over puffed rice, and an intriguing kappa infused with Lucques olives. Each dish sets the stage with contrast and finesse.
The experience then deepens with plates showcasing meticulous craftsmanship. Sologne caviar rests atop a smoked haddock potato mousseline, offering a silky balance of salt and smoke. A dish of macaronis—stuffed with artichoke, black truffle, and foie gras—gratinated under aged parmesan, embraces French culinary tradition with rich, unapologetic elegance. Scallops, seared to perfection, are paired with white truffle gnocchi and a peppery watercress jus, creating a harmonious interplay between earthiness and freshness.
The meat course brings a bolder, more assertive flavor profile. A roasted saddle of lamb arrives wrapped in a nori crust, served with a subtly sweet kohlrabi purée, all tied together by a sauce made with preserved lemon, olives, and fresh herbs—a dish that merges Mediterranean influences with modern precision.
Dessert unfolds in two refined movements. First, a vibrant mango-passionfruit gelée with pineapple-ginger sorbet refreshes the palate. Then, a decadent finale: Valrhona’s Pur Caraïbe 66% chocolate dessert, accompanied by tea-infused ice cream and a rich blackberry nectar.
Set within the elegant ambiance of La Brasserie, these two evenings offer a rare and intimate moment of culinary brilliance—where the hand of a master chef guides each course, and every detail serves the quiet dialogue between tradition and innovation.
