Dear friends, 

Our first OMGD event for 2019 takes us to Provence, the storied, picturesque, carefree and fanciful southeastern corner of France.  Nestled between the warm Mediterranean and the Alps and Pyrenees, the geography of Provence is characterized by plenty of sunshine and access to seafood and olives, which in turn has brought us such culinary delights as aioli, bouillabaisse, daube, tapenade, socca and ratatouille.

Our introduction to the wonders of Provencal cuisine begins with sunset cocktails at the Mireio Terrace where the bartenders of Raffles hotel will be serving glasses of Cosmopolite – a signature cocktail based on Provence’s iconic anise and licorice flavored liqueur - with pass-around hors d’ouvres of tapenade and eggplant caviar with crostini, and pissaladière.

Mireio’s Chef Herve Clair, who hails from Provence, has come up with a mouth-watering dinner menu to be served at 7:30pm at the private Raffles Salon adjacent to the restaurant:
