Light and cool by day and dimly lit and romantic by night, it is also a restaurant for all seasons.The home of Cuisine Nicoise, whose origins lie in old Genoese cooking, is the old town of Nice where French Mediterranean cuisine has blended and evolved with the influences of Ligurian Italy across the border. Local produce, notably artichokes, courgettes, lemons, olives, tomatoes, peppers and girolles are used generously with sea food, meat and fresh pasta to produce a style that’s light and healthy. Oil obtained from olives groves on the hills of the Alpes Maritimes behind Nice and extending into Liguria is used throughout.At La Petite Maison -

Junior Sous ChefAsia De Cuba Nov 2014 - Apr 2016The restaurant offers an impressive menu of ceviche – raw fish cured in citrus juices – which is arguably the best in the city. The 10 different types on offer feature typical Cuban ingredients including plantain, lime, malanga chips, aji panca and guava, doled out in equal parts with Thai chillies, snow peas, ginger, wasabi, Asian pear and shiso.Small plates and mains offer a sophisticated playground of flavours: there are the Wagyu ropa vieja (shredded beef) empanadas; chilli-rubbed scallops with black rice and Japanese aioli; a must-try veal vaca frita with maduros, yuca, mushrooms and Chinese broccoli; and the exquisite ricoto miso-glazed black cod with an avocado and poblano pepper purée.It’s a similar story with desserts, with a thoughtful combination of Cuban and Asian ingredients. Flan is a sweet caramel custard concoction that’s a staple in Cuban desserts. Asia de Cuba pairs its flan with Thai coconut and lemon grass. There’s also a guava whipped cheesecake with coconut tuile and a Manchego tart served with guava ice cream. And no restaurant can call itself Cuban without a classic tres leche (sponge cake made with three different kinds of milk). True to form, the one here is served with Asian flair: with chocolate Szechuan peppercorn ice cream. -
