  • Discover Your Local Masterdish

    Our Chefs love incorporating hearty ingredients with local, fresh produce – and taking a typical French-inspired dish and combining it with Egyptian elements. Using that approach, we introduce our culinary Masterdish: beef fillet marinated in hibiscus leaves, rosemary, sea salt and wrapped in a hibiscus-soaked torchon, served with roasted asparagus, glazed carrots and a carrot puree. The meat is cooked in the torchon on a charcoal grill, then sliced and topped with a delicious beef jus.
