At Saison by Mauro Colagreco, located within the gorgeous atrium of Raffles London at The OWO, the Citrus Festival Menu is a vibrant song to seasonal simplicity. Available as a two-course option for £64 or three courses for £74, each meal comes perfectly paired with a glass of Laurent-Perrier Héritage, setting the stage for a Mediterranean-inspired dining experience with a refined Saison touch.
Mauro Colagreco, the Michelin-starred visionary behind Mirazur, brings his deep-rooted passion for sustainability and local produce to London, curating a menu where citrus fruits take centre stage. This limited-time offering is a study in balanced flavours – bright, aromatic, and deeply satisfying.
A Menu Infused with Mediterranean Sunshine
From the first bite, the menu transports you to sun-drenched groves along the Côte d’Azur. The London Burrata is a delicate yet striking opener, where creamy cheese meets bursts of citrus, basil, pistachio and the sweetness of Sicilian raisins, a harmony of tangy and herbal notes.
The Orkney Scallops arrive bathed in a Beurre blanc enriched with candied lemon peel and caramelised hazelnuts. The Halibut, coated in a pink peppercorn and lemon sabayon, is an elegant showcase of balanced acidity and richness.
For those craving something heartier, the Lamb Saddle is a triumph. Stuffed with kumquat, basil, and black olives, it captures the interplay between citrusy brightness and meaty depth, a dish that lingers long after the last bite.
To finish, the Classic Menton Lemon Tart pays tribute to Colagreco’s roots, its silky filling encased in a delicate pastry, served with a fragrant lemon leaf ice cream – a dessert that is both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
For a limited time, the Citrus Festival Menu offers a taste of the Riviera in the heart of London, a reminder that even the greyest days can be brightened with the right ingredients – and a perfectly chilled glass of champagne.
