Abu Dhabi restaurant to recreate last Titanic meal
A restaurant in Abu Dhabi will recreate the 10-course meal served to the first-class passengers aboard the Titanic on the night of April 14, 1912-- just hours before it sank.
According to Gulf News, the dining room at Bord Eau, at the Shangri-La Qaryat Al Beri, will recreate the ambience of the erstwhile Titanic’s first-class cabin, while executive chef Mansour Memarian will serve up the menu that was served to the ship’s top customers for Dh406 (BD42) including tax. In today’s prices, the menu served in that time, would come to over Dh367,000 (BD 38,000).
“This year, Bord Eau is set to steer patrons towards an exclusive experience. The last dinner on the Titanic epitomises the finest gastronomic journey worth telling, where guests’ experiences are not limited by their imagination,” said Thomas Guss, the hotel’s general manager. “The savoir faire, sumptuous food and lively entertainment — coupled with a touch of history — are elegantly intertwined to give an unparalleled dining experience.”
Guests, who will be entertained with live jazz performances, are reportedly encouraged to dress up.
The menu for the first-class dinner survived the disaster, unlike 1,500 of the Titanic’s passengers, and has been a source of fascination for chefs around the world attempting to recreate the sumptuous meal.
The Bord Eau menu intends to stay true to the original and incredibly rich menu: Oysters; consomme Olga; poached salmon, mousseline sauce and cucumbers; filet mignon Lili, chicken Lyonnaise and vegetables stuffed with marrow; lamb with mint sauce, green pea puree and Parmentier potatoes; punch Romaine cocktail; roast squab with watercress; cold asparagus with saffron vinaigrette; pate de foie gras with celery; and to wrap up, Waldorf pudding, chocolate eclair and orange en surprise.
