Summer by La Bauhinia
The new concept by Quentin Testart at Shangri-La Paris
The arrival of Executive Chef Quentin Testart marks the start of a new journey for Shangri-La Paris, in the setting of one of the capital's most secret gardens, offering dishes devoted to the flavours of the high seas.
On 1st of May, Shangri-La Paris will be revealing a whole new creative menu that asserts its identity and breaks away from the classical conventions of gastronomy, an identity trip. This marine menu is made to be shared and heartily enjoyed, a taste of which can be already found at the restaurant La Bauhinia.

A Secret Garden
The restaurant has taken over a very confidential garden in the west of Paris, sheltered from the gazes of passers-by and facing the top of the Eiffel Tower.
Imagined as an indoor-outdoor living space, Summer by La Bauhinia plays both ways: the fresh atmosphere of a dining room opening out onto lush greenery, and the magic of tables set in a private garden.
Cosmopolitan Seafood Cuisine
Cradled by his memories of Brittany and marked by his first experiences working in seafood brigades, Quentin Testart has taken the opportunity to combine what he takes at heart: marine products and his taste for travel.
Borrowing the best cutting techniques, cooking methods, spice blends, and condiments from around the globe, he applies them with perfection to the world of seafood cuisine.
Sharing Spirit And Conviviality
The goal of this new proposal? Embrace conviviality, pave the way to surprise, and the urge to “taste everything” rather than sticking to former conventions.
The Gamberro Rossa are pecked on a bed of Sticky Rice that can be shared.
The Spider Crab, with Thai pomelo, a yuzu gel, and a bisque emulsion, is shared in a little spoon.
The same mezze-style sharing is found in the Tuna Tataki with Thai spring onion and refreshed by a ponzu sauce.
The Love Of Travel
Among the most long-awaited dishes?
The Meagre is cooked first at a low temperature and then wrapped in a banana leaf, accompanied by a fondue of carrots, runner beans, and coconut.
The Lobster in little ravioli pastels, bathed in a wonton broth, baby spinach, Taggiasche olives, and capers are laying over the Red Mullet, drizzled with a real bouillabaisse jus.
