Chef Sumit at Le Jardin, Oberio has created a new menu for the restaurant and it is worth a try!
Le Jardin, Oberoi has a new senior sous chef all the way from NYC. Chef Sumit is an ‘Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development’ alumnus and has previously done a stint with Oberoi as well. So it’s almost like homecoming for him being back in a Oberoi kitchen. The young chef is full of energy and ideas inspired by many international chefs has worked with and is ready to take the already favorite Le Jardin to some more new heights.
I was invited for a tasting table along with a small set of some fellow bloggers, friends old and new. Chef Sumit displayed his skill in creating fantastic textures, of playing around with techniques to get a myriad of flavours. Each morsel of food that we tasted that day was an experience in itself.
I specially liked how chef used snow and frost through the menu. Be it the mignonette snow with the Oysters or frost on my Avocado gazpacho. Chef Sumit is announcing his arrival with a bang, with a 5-course dinner only meal cheekily called “The Sum-mit of Good Times” and it truly is. Priced at Rs 1975/- + taxes the only thing that could have may be changed a bit is the portion size. I am a good eater though I wasn’t very hungry at the end of it, I think the portion size could have been slightly larger or may be I ended up choosing all the light dishes but that apart it was a lovely meal. The 5-course meal is on till 24th June though I think Chef Sumit will continue to weave his magic post that as well.
Below is a pictorial journey of what I ate that day.

The veg amuse bouche – Carrot tartare with sunflower seeds and multigrain crisp. That crisp was gorgeous, carrot creamy yet light.
