Annual Festival brings Fall Flavours to Andrey Durbach’s menus October 15th to 24th
Join Pied-à-Terre, La Buca and L’Altro Buca in celebrating an adventurous selection of rare game, bold sauces and the finest fungi during this year’s Game and Wild Mushroom Festival, held October 15th to October 24th. Chef Andrey Durbach’s distinctive menus highlight the flavours of the autumn harvest and will offer diners a chance to experience the earthy tastes of locally foraged morels, chanterelles, matsutake, porcini and field mushrooms served alongside hearty cuts of unsung game and the rich reductions that Durbach is known for. For the first time, the Game and Wild Mushroom Festival will be featured on the menus at each of Durbach and Chris Stewart’s three restaurants.
Intense flavours will take centre-stage on Durbach’s Italian Game and Wild Mushroom menus at La Buca and L’Altro Buca with items such as seared Hokkaido scallops with crisp wild boar belly, cauliflower puree and warm balsamic vinaigrette; poached and roasted breast of pheasant served with foie gras stuffed morels, Parma ham and vin santo; and pappardelle pasta with ragu of bison cheeks, pecorino cheese and gremolata.
Fans of Durbach’s French-fortified cooking at Pied-à-Terre will have a chance to sample countryside driven dishes such as air dried bison with warm potato and haricots vert, melted raclette and cornichons with pickled button onions; bigeye tuna served with chanterelles, red wine, beurre noisette and onion rings; and grilled loin of red deer with green peppercorns and wild alpine berries.
