Chartreuse is the name of a new specialty restaurant
that will be aboard the Regent Seven Seas Explorer, a ship under construction and
scheduled for delivery in November.
Regent believes it has a winning concept: Not only will
Chartreuse be on the Explorer, but its menu will replace the fare at
Signatures, a restaurant on both the Voyager and Mariner, and select dishes
will be available at Compass Rose on the Navigator.
The cuisine and ambience is classic French, but “with a
modern twist.”
A large panoramic rendering of the restaurant showed an
elegant design with an art nouveau-themed decor.
Every seat will have an ocean view, and the menu will
include items such as Charolais steak tartare in a hazelnut-Dijon emulsion
topped with Perlita caviar d’Aquitaine, roasted Cevennes rack of lamb with
rosemary-mint persillade and sugar snap pea sauce, and poached Brittany blue
lobster tail glazed with caramelized lobster roe butter on a bed of Sologne
white asparagus and Romanesco.
The Explorer will also feature Regent’s specialty
steakhouse, Prime 7. A concept for a third specialty restaurant aboard Explorer
will be revealed in June.
