“Chocolat” inspired by Gâteau Opéra.
Built around the classic pairing of almond, coffee and chocolate, using 60% chocolate from Nicolas Berger for depth and balance.
A touch of Maldon salt enhances the richness, while almond ice cream scented with Amaretto brings softness and warmth.
Finished tableside with a coffee-infused crème anglaise, adding fragrance and a gentle bitterness to round the dish.

A galette bretonne, revisited.
Buckwheat batter cooked gently until crisp at the edges, layered with slowly cooked morels and wild garlic.
The mushrooms are stuffed with a rich farce of shiitake, cheddar and bacon, then glazed with their own cooking juices for depth and savoury warmth.
Finished with frisée for freshness and a wild garlic hollandaise sabayon to bring lift and brightness.

A celebration of the season on the plate.
Spring crudités, thoughtfully composed: young vegetables served raw and lightly blanched to preserve their natural crunch and sweetness, set over a delicate onion soubise. A white asparagus jelly brings brightness, while Thai basil pesto, pistachio and a touch of colatura lend depth and gentle umami.

A quiet moment of tasting, shaping what arrives at the table. Chosen by Chef Pierre, in close collaboration with Fromagerie Beillevaire, through a shared philosophy, and a shared love of cheese.
Respect for origin, seasonality and craft guides each selection, with even the butter following the same provenance.
Here Chef Pierre and Amandine taste Ronceraux from the Pyrenees, a rare blend of goat and sheep’s milk. Delicate yet complex, and seldom found in the UK.

Before each service, a quiet rhythm takes hold.
The team gathers, the kitchen sharpens its focus, and every final detail is set with intent. From briefing to the last touch on the floor, it is a moment of alignment before the doors open.
Precision, calm, and preparation, where the experience truly begins.

Caviar Oscietra.
Chef Pierre Minotti builds this dish around smoked eel from Devon, used in its entirety. Paired with lightly cured sea bass, crisp potatoes and a delicate smoked eel cream, it’s layered with texture and depth. Finished with Exmoor Oscietra caviar.

At the pass, where it all begins.
For Chef Pierre Minotti, each dish is shaped by memory as much as technique, drawing from his roots, his hometown, and the traditions of French cuisine.
A foundation of place, reinterpreted with precision, seasonality and a quietly modern hand.

Quail, rooted in place.
Chef Pierre Minotti sources this bird from a small producer in the Pyrenees, exclusive to us in the UK. Naturally gamey and served pink, for depth and character.
Paired with asparagus and vin jaune from the Jura, a quiet nod to his hometown.

Details from last week’s opening event.
An evening of first tastes, flowing Champagne and a glimpse into a new chapter at Orrery by Pierre Minotti.

Born on the shores of Marseille, bouillabaisse began as a humble fisherman’s stew, made with the day’s unsold catch, simmered slowly with saffron, fennel and sea air.
At Orrery, Chef Pierre Minotti reimagines the classic with a lighter, more refined expression. Line-caught fish, shellfish and delicate aromatics are carefully layered, with a saffron-infused broth poured tableside.
A dish rooted in French history, elevated through precision, seasonality and craft.
