A Delicious Valentine’s Day Menu
For Valentine’s Day, Pichet has curated a special Four-Course Set Menu (€95) that’s sure to dazzle both your palate and your heart. While the menu is subject to change, the sample offering is a tantalising glimpse into the culinary journey you can expect.
To Start – A Cocktail for Love
Your romantic dinner begins with the Love Potion, a playful and elegant cocktail featuring Absolut Vodka, Raspberry Liqueur, Grenadine, and a refreshing combination of soda water, fresh raspberries, blackberries, and rosemary. It’s the perfect way to toast the evening and set the tone for what’s to come.
Snacks – Little Bites of Joy
The meal kicks off with some irresistible snacks that include house-made Focaccia served with rich olive oil and aged balsamic, alongside a Gougere of Leek filled with 24-month Comté and Black Winter Truffle. These indulgent bites are the perfect prelude to the main courses and are guaranteed to get your taste buds tingling.
Starters – Decadent and Delicious
For starters, you’ll have several options, each more tempting than the last. Try the Cod and Chorizo Croquettes, paired with a tangy confit jalapeno mayo, or indulge in the rich flavours of Terrine of Ring Farm Chicken and Smoked Ham Hock, with gribiche sauce, house pickles, and toasted sourdough. If you prefer seafood, the Roaring Water Bay Mussels in Café de Paris butter broth, served with grilled focaccia, will transport you straight to the coast. Alternatively, the Mushroom Soup with potato truffle cream is an earthy and comforting choice.
Mains – A Feast for the Senses
For the main course, Pichet’s team has pulled out all the stops. The Barbary Duck Breast is served alongside a smoky lentil and sausage cassoulet, with celeriac and duck pudding adding layers of flavour and texture. If venison is more your style, the Loin of Wicklow Venison paired with pomme purée, roasted carrots, and a rich Bourgignon sauce will leave you speechless. For seafood lovers, the Roasted Monkfish with purple sprouting broccoli, mussels, and wild garlic is a fresh and flavour-packed option. And for those preferring a vegetarian option, the Parmesan Agnolotti with roasted Jerusalem artichoke and basil-hazelnut pesto is nothing short of divine.
Sides – Perfect Accompaniments
No meal is complete without the right sides, and Pichet offers some exceptional choices. Treat yourself to Roasted Crown Prince Pumpkin with chilli and seed rayu, or indulge in Roasted Cauliflower with miso butter and hazelnut. You can also enjoy the classic Chips, crispy and golden for a simple but satisfying addition.
Desserts – Sweet Endings
Finally, the meal concludes with an indulgent dessert. The Warm 70% Chocolate Mousse with salted caramel, coffee ice cream, and white chocolate crumb is a rich, decadent treat. Alternatively, the White Chocolate and Blackberry Cheesecake with blackberry sorbet is a refreshing and tangy option, or you can finish off with the Rhubarb Financier, served with bay leaf anglaise and brown butter ice cream. Cheese lovers can opt for the Selection of Cheese, accompanied by homemade spiced pear chutney and Sheridan’s brown bread crackers.
