In Tsé Fung, whose
menu was created
by Frank Xu.
Côté restauration, ce ne sont pas moins de 5 offres qui vous
attendent chacune vous plongeant dans un univers unique :
le Loti et ses voyages savoureux, le Tsé Fung avec une carte
signée Frank Xu, le Café Lauren et sa cuisine healthy, la
Réserve Traiteur et ses propositions personnalisées, le Bar
avec son expert en mixologie et sa carte inspirée du chef Frédéric
Calmels.
Nous nous attarderons sur le Tsé Fung, un haut lieu de gastronomie
chinoise. Son chef Franck Xu a fait de son canard laqué
en deux services une référence culinaire et son décor de laque
noire vous entrainera dans le Shanghai des année 30.
La Réserve, with its stunning views of Lake Geneva,
offers an extensive range of services. In addition to the topclass
accommodation and catering, it was the establishment’s
dietary, sport, mental health and, of course, anti-aging care
that truly won us over.
As suggested by its name, La Réserve is a timeless lodge set
in four hectares of grounds leading down to the lake, though
with no wild animals in sight… This 5-star hotel and spa, with
its 73 bedrooms, 29 suites and one 385m² villa, is a taste of
paradise just 5km outside Geneva.
The décor is inspired by Africa: wood, leather and club armchairs
might send you “Out of Africa” but the place is given
a modern twist with its specialist gastronomy (the Tsé Fung
restaurant is Switzerland’s only Michelin-starred Asian restaurant),
paperless Harcourt Studio, and international “Art in the
Park” pieces dotted around the gardens and spa.
The bedrooms are luxurious with a wealth of refined details,
such as the cotton satin bed linen, black granite mosaic bathrooms
and outdoor views, some boasting a patio that leads
straight out to the swimming pool. There are several suites: the
La Reserve Suite, the Presidential Suite and the Royal Suite
with its two terraces, one of which measures 100m².
When it comes to dining, there are five mouth-watering options,
each immersing diners in a different atmosphere: Le Loti
with its flavoursome voyages, Tsé Fung with its menu created
by Frank Xu, Café Lauren’s healthy cuisine, La Réserve Traiteur
with its personalised suggestions, and Le Bar with its expert
mixologist and menu inspired by chef Frédéric Calmels.
We particularly enjoyed the Tsé Fung, a hot spot for Chinese
gastronomy. Chef Frank Xu has made traditional Peking duck
his culinary signature, and the black lacquer décor will transport
you straight back to 1930s Shanghai.
