Pastry chef of the Majestic Barrière in Cannes, Michael Durieux enchants us with his signature dessert, the Babette.
An avalanche of exoticism for the connoisseurs! And I can tell you, the serving is indeed generous.
On the base of the plate: a well-set yogurt panna cotta adorned with fresh and indulgent delights: exotic compote, a few coconut macarons, diced mango refreshed with lime, an orange espuma, accompanied by a matching sorbet, a crispy tuile, a few flower petals for a touch of poetry…
I loved these combinations of textures and flavors that pleasantly extend a meal, and I highly recommend this lovely, aesthetic, flavorful, and zesty dessert as I like them. While you’re at it, you can also enhance your experience with a wine chosen by the head sommelier Guerrick Baray, or a coffee selected by the head barista at Malongo.
WHERE TO SAVOR THE BABETTE?
