Lunch with a French factor

“J’aime le Dejeuner”, which is priced at Bt1,100-net, starts with sweetcorn soup with chive cream, and grilled and pickled baby corn and is followed by vegetable and exotic fruit salad served with pumpkin puree, and shellfish juice and Italian basil gelee with clam, tomato and lemon confit. For the main course, diners can choose between Bouillabaisse-style rock fish with saffron-scented fennel puree, or braised pork shank and cheeks Parmentier with homemade ravioli and carrot and apple puree. Dishes arrive quickly to suit all diners, even those on a busy lunch schedule. Dessert is a pistachio milk ice cream and mandarin sorbet marble served with orange marmalade and dark chocolate tuile. 
J’aime le Dejeuner can also be enjoyed as the express three-course business lunch, with the same focus on supreme quality, and a guarantee that courses come very quickly to suit the lives of business persons on the go. It’s priced at Bt990.
Head Chef Amerigo Tito Sesti and his team create new menus based on recipes by Michelin-starred French chef, Jean-Michel Lorain. The menus exemplify Lorain’s passion and inspiration combining tropical vegetables, herbs and spices with ingredients from the four corners of the culinary world.
The restaurant also emphasises the importance of using locally sourced produce, including products from the Royal Project. The concept of the restaurant is to introduce exotic French menus to represent the identity and quintessential nature of the food, whilst featuring the same identity as that which is on offer at La Cote Saint Jacques in Joigny, France, inherited from generation to generation by the Lorain family.
Lunch is served from noon to 2.30pm daily (except Tuesdays, and the last Sunday of the month when the restaurant hosts its monthly brunch).
J’aime by Jean-Michel Lorain is at U Sathorn Bangkok on Soi Ngam Duphi off Sathorn Road. For reservations and further details, call (02) 119 4899 or visit www.Jaime-bangkok.com.
