Innovative chef Bartosz Szynaka returns to The River Restaurant at The Lowry Hotel, making his widely anticipated debut as Executive Head Chef with a sumptuously refined autumnal menu featuring an array of divinely intricate dishes and a selection of achingly opulent desserts.
Commencing his debut menu as Executive Head Chef, Szynaka’s exquisitely crafted starters include white crab tacos served with smoked almond wafer, accompanied by caviar & shellfish sauce, as well as hand-dived scallops paired with chestnut crumb and charred turnips.
For mains, diners can enjoy a rich seasonal duck breast with a crapaudine beetroot, confit leg tartlet, carrot and duck jus; sous vide burnt leeks with fennel marmalade and Maluns; or a bright, delicate fillet of seabass with saffron mussels nage – a divine broth made from white wine, vegetables and herbs.
With his dessert offering, Szynaka’s boundless creative passion nous new heights. The seasonal pudding options include Valrhona Caramélia Chocolate (pudding) with peanut butter and salted caramel, an autumnal chestnut parfait, served with fig, pear, cinnamon and port and an Amarena cherry cheesecake served with pistachio, dark chocolate AERO® and amaretto cream.
Ahead of the menu launch Bartosz Szynaka, said: “I’m incredibly excited to be re-joining the team at the River Restaurant – redefining ‘back with a bang’ as they say”.
“Having honed my craft here in the early years of my career, it feels very special to be back at The Lowry Hotel taking on such an exciting role within an iconic Manchester institution.
“Development of the menu has been an exciting process. Personally, I can’t wait to welcome our guests, old and new, to sample the new delights on offer.”
