Tickle your taste buds with Lansmore’s new menu

La Touche de Provence in Lansmore recently introduced a new menu. Executive Chef Rico Carlinsky prepared an incredible feast for food enthusiast’s senses. According to Carlinsky their change of menu is seasonal as they will be launching a new menu every new season and their choice of food for the menu was inspired by the cold weather.

 
“The new menu was created with the winter season in mind and the comfort I believe food will give in winter. What is in the menu is food I personally enjoy eating and I’ve put myself in my customers’ shoes and selected food that will warm me up. I love including ingredients that are a little closer to home whilst also moving a little out of my comfort zones to try the unfamiliar.
Here’s a sneak peak of what look forward to:
