The next best thing to “April in Paris” is “April at Rech by Alain Ducasse”, the first international outpost of Paris's most famous seafood restaurant. Also Rech is now open for dinner on Mondays, so you can choose to dine with us any night of the week. As of April 21, Rech will also be open for lunch on both Saturday and Sunday.

This month the 1-Michelin star Rech by Alain Ducasse at InterContinental Hong Kong celebrates spring with a new à la carte menu showcasing seasonal produce from France. If you love fresh seafood, you'll adore Rech Executive Chef Stéphane Gortina's new spring dishes which feature baby spring vegetables from France such as fennel, beetroot and girolle mushrooms. Pastry Chef Thomas Moulin has incorporated seasonal fruit including pineapple and grapefruit as well as pistachios into his new desserts.

The new dishes include:

• Herb printed pasta, girolles-shallots-parsley
• John Dory aiguillette and squid, fennel
• Roasted Pigeon breast from France, turnip and baby beetroot
  (For this dish, Chef Stéphane has created a “twist between French and Chinese cuisine” with the pigeon legs served in 'bao' buns with foie gras, Colonnata bacon and black truffle.)
• Confit and iced grapefruit, vodka granite
• Pistachio éclair
