Lili Restaurant reopens at The Peninsula Paris with a new gastronomic symphony harmonising east and west

Wednesday 15 September will see the reopening of LiLi, the iconic restaurant at The Peninsula Paris whose extravagant décor and ambiance recall the glamour and splendor of a Chinese Opera. Fittingly, the culinary team at LiLi has created a dramatically delectable new menu to welcome diners back - a gourmet orchestral score that blends the flavours and traditions of both East and West.

To compose this imaginative new culinary arrangement, Chef Dicky To has taken advantage of his three years at the helm of the Parisian restaurant to explore French gastronomy, from its traditional techniques to its regional delicacies. Chef To enlisted Chef David Bizet (Executive Chef of the property) to conceive a menu that both harmonises and pays homage to their respective Chinese and French cultures.

While LiLi's reopening heralds the return of the restaurant's famously authentic Peking Duck - along with other Cantonese favourites like pork, prawn, and vegetable dim sum - these preparations now share the spotlight with dishes that take equal inspiration from French and Chinese culinary traditions. Among these are a trio of dim-sum that takes on great classical French dishes such as beef bourguignon, bouillabaisse-style fish soup, and barigoule artichokes; a seared tuna with black truffle or some Braised boneless beef ribs flambéed with Shaoxing wine.

Desserts created by Anne Coruble, in charge of all sweet confections at The Peninsula Paris, also reflects the blending of Eastern and Western influences, such as a crispy chocolate tuile with ginger preserve, and roasted pineapple with Madagascan vanilla ganache and fresh passion fruit.

Florent Martin, Head Sommelier of The Peninsula Paris, has also created an innovative pairing menu to align with the array of new dishes. As well as a carefully curated selection of wines, his choices also encompass distinctive kombuchas and teas - which provide elegant, non-alcoholic accompaniment to the creative cuisine. LiLi diners who wish to celebrate with cocktails (or mocktails) will also find a new line up of libations conceived by Bar Manager Ivo Correia Rocha.

With this harmonious arrangement of flavours and cultures, Chef To and his culinary team promise a superb gustatory experience to welcome returning LiLi diners. For those who prefer to enjoy LiLi's offerings at home, a selection of menu dishes will soon be made available for takeaway.
