Le Meurice holds a candle to Christmas and presents its anniversary Yule log

2012-10-4 — /travelprnews.com/ — This year, the original Parisian palace hotel is lighting 3×5 candles to mark the 5th anniversary of the gastronomic restaurant’s three stars, of Philippe Starck’s renovations, and of the Prix Meurice for contemporary art.

Such a special occasion demands a special creation, and what could be more original than this chocolate candle whose warm, spiced flavours will make this a magical festive season.

This Christmas candle comes wrapped in a Manjari chocolate shell, made with beans from the Indian Ocean, around a dark chocolate mousse that covers a crisp biscuit with fleur de sel and Gianduja milk chocolate. A creamy caramel heart flavoured with fresh rosemary completes this intense taste experience.

And for a truly sparkling Christmas feast, what better than to enjoy this chocolate delight at the Le Dali restaurant, surrounded by Philippe Starck’s dazzling decor, accompanied by the cuisine de palace of Le Meurice’s three Michelin-starred Executive Chef!
