Who is behind the great food served at buzzing China World's Aria restaurant?
German chef Bernhard Lermann joined the team last November after a rich experience in 2 of France's most prestigious establishments, Heberlin and George Blanc, both awarded with Michelin stars. Last year was a turning point in Bernhard’s career when the young chef took the leap into the Beijing jungle to start a new challenging experience with the Shangri La group. The secret to maintaining the restaurant at the top level in the rapidly changing Beijing scene: keep the passion for food.
And, how best to share his passion but with food lovers from La Chaine des Rotisseurs? Bernhard concocted for them a unique menu pairing each dish with music and the finest wines to make an unforgettable journey through the past. Working in China has already inspired the young chef with new techniques and tastes, today he is using his flair to source the best ingredients from far-flung corners of the world: in August, international visitors will have the chance to discover his goose liver terrine served with hazelnuts and grapefruit confit. September brings "special flavors of France" to be the guests of honor. One of Shangri La’s secrets to their success in China surely is the talented people they have on board.
