Fancy A French Saturday Afternoon with Brasserie Boulud’s New Picnic C’est Chic

A refined and relaxed brunch alternative, Picnic C’est Chic makes eating out on weekends a family-friendly affair, with a French-inspired picnic hamper brimming with a fine selection of barbecue grillades, freshly baked breads, colourful salads, and some French fancies from the pastry kitchen to end a resplendent meal on a sweet note.

Expertly prepared by Chef de Cuisine, Nicolas Lemoyne, and his talented team of kitchen wizards, Picnic C’est Chic exudes French flair through an effortlessly delectable, sharing style menu that promises all the food fancies one might expect only when holidaying in the European Provence.

Every Saturday, Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk’s decadent dining destination will adorn gingham print table covers that bring the beloved outdoor dining tradition into the contemporary confines of the luxurious Sofitel Dubai The Obelisk. Starting at AED 195, the lavish spread includes picnic essentials, such as sourdough baguette and salted butter, French artisanal cheeses, organic cucumber salad with light cream dressing, onion chutney, home-made chicken and duck pâté en crôute, salmon rillettes, beef cecina and various other accoutrements.

Meat lovers will savour the range of delights from the grill, with marinated lamb chops cooked to preference, cajun spiced chicken breast skewers, grilled Oman shrimps with fresh lemon, and grilled sea bass with rosemary infused olive oil.

Field and farm favourites ensure there’s plenty fresh flavours to the weekend indulgence, with couscous-based tabbouleh with fresh mint and fresh parsley, oven roasted seasonal vegetables, fingerling potatoes, and creamy local burrata on a bed of heirloom tomatoes.

For a sweet finish, the rotating desserts come perfectly packaged in a wicker basket filled with traditional French dark chocolate moelleux, rice pudding with raspberry and vanilla coulis, classic French Madeleines and homestyle apple tart along with whipped cream to complement the flavours.

Brasserie Boulud was recently recognised within the UAE Michelin Guide’s Bib Gourmand category for its impeccable offering and value for money. The restaurant is helmed by celebrity chef, Daniel Boulud, and spearheaded by Chef Nicolas Lemoyne in Dubai, demonstrating the finest example of authentic French fare in the emirate. Visitors can encounter fresh, seasonal dishes throughout the week, all crafted with care, rooted in tradition, and plated with panache.
