NEW ORLEANS – King Brasserie & Bar at Kimpton Hotel Fontenot will join in the New Orleans tradition of Réveillon, offering a special four-course meal highlighting King Brasserie’s appreciation for Gulf seafood, seasonal ingredients and French flavors often found in this holiday feast. This year, King’s Réveillon menu, priced at $65 per person, will be available from Dec. 1 through Dec. 25 during dinner hours.
The menu has been curated by Executive Chef Samuel Peery and his team to capture the essence of this cherished New Orleans celebration. The meal will begin with an Escargot ‘Casino’ – a Réveillon classic featuring Benton’s bacon, garlic and parsley butter, and crispy breadcrumbs. For the second course, guests will enjoy a Gulf Seafood Gumbo with crispy oyster and Louisiana rice. The third course presents a decadent duo of Braised Short Rib & Seared Scallops, served with roasted squash, Brussels sprouts, and a hazelnut gremolata. To conclude the meal on a sweet note, diners will indulge in Pastry Chef Lanna Talley’s Sweet Potato Crème Brûlée with tahini, cardamom, pomegranate, and caramelized white chocolate.
King Brasserie, along with Peacock Room, will feature special holiday cocktails available now through New Year’s Eve. King’s holiday cocktails include the Jingle Bell Mingle, a light, fluffy drink with a hint of bergamot that is also available in a martini tree that serves 6 people. The Papa Noel is a delightful twist on a brandy milk punch-meets-eggnog that’ll knock Santa right out of his boots. And the Mulled Wine with a house blend of wine, mulling spices, brandy and spiced rum is sure to raise your spirit. King Brasserie also offers an amazing selection of wines by the glass and bottle, especially focused on the Euro coastal and French regions. They also offer vintage library flights of Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge for something extra special.
