Le Meridien Vilnius implemented "Signature Breakfast" programme
2010-01-22

 

One of the top luxury hotels in the Baltic States, the 5-star hotel Le Méridien Vilnius offers a culturally rich environment combined with superior service designed to inspire guest creativity.

Le Méridien's newly launched breakfast unveiled a new point of view on cuisine. Le Méridien's new Signature Breakfast is created in partnership with three-star Michelin Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten and features colourful eye-opening elixirs. Guests are invited to explore the unconventional combinations of fruits such as oranges, carrots and raspberries; herbs and spices including chillies, cloves and pepper.
 Jean-Georges' approach to combining fresh, high quality ingredients, strive for excellence and creativity, as well as his goal of making haute cuisine accessible, match Le Méridien's ambitions to develop a reputation for a unique point of view on cuisine. Breakfast entrees are new interpretations of classic breakfast items such as Croque Madame, Smoked Salmon and Silken Tofu, and Espresso Steamed Eggs with Toasted Brioche.
"Le Méridien continues to reinterpret every aspect of the hotel experience, with the goal of breaking the mold and awakening our guests' creative curiosity by delivering cultural experiences that stimulate their senses," said Eva Zielger, Global Brand Leader, Le Méridien. "Jean-Georges is a natural and strategic choice for us as he is an innovator who has successfully reinterpreted classic cuisine in a new way. This approach fits perfectly with Le Méridien's creative vision."
"My goal for Le Méridien was to create a breakfast experience that not only delivers the basics at a high quality level, but also provides a level of "discovery" for guests by blending exotic flavours with everyday ingredients. The dishes deliver a unique blend of flavours that invigorate and awaken the palate," added J. G. Vongerichten. 
J. G. Vongerichten is a member of LM100, a diverse international group of established and emerging creative souls, curated by Le Méridien's Cultural Curator, Jerome Sans. LM100 members offer their creativity to develop original and interactive programs for Le Méridien hotels worldwide that will transform the guest experience. 
To create a true cuisine culture as Le Méridien re-invented the breakfast experience, the brand’s internal talent were engaged through a “Taste of Discovery” competition. As a European brand, bread is a key element to Le Méridien’s breakfast, and internal talent were invited to provide recipes for a signature bread, pastry or sandwich.
In addition to the breakfast experience, Le Méridien is introducing a new point of view on Coffee Culture. LM is also now offering guests’ illycaffé, one of Europe’s innovative, premium coffee brands.
