The buffet is designed to highlight the distinct textures and aromas of the harvest. Guests can find traditional seasonal ingredients transformed through refined techniques, such as a pumpkin Basque cheesecake and fig and walnut vol-au-vent. The selection also includes fruit-forward options like pear tarts and apple kuchen, alongside aromatic compositions like the roasted hojicha and pecan nut tiramisu.

Variations on the Mont Blanc and Seasonal Fruits

A centerpiece of the offering is a trio of Mont Blanc variations, each utilizing a different base to showcase the versatility of the dessert. These include a rich version made with Kumamoto chestnuts, a French chestnut tart, and a naturally sweet interpretation featuring sweet potato. Complementing these are refreshing options such as Shine Muscat trifles and fontainebleau, which provide a light contrast to the denser autumnal flavors.
