Boucan by Hotel Chocolat- A foodie retreat in St Lucia where dining presents a unique and delicious culinary experience . With a commitment to sustainability and local produce diners can enjoy the Cacao that is used by the chefs in three ways: Firstly the fresh pulp is used in sorbets, cocktails and ice creams while the roasted cacao nibs are used as a spice and seasoning with everything from rich red meats to delicate seafood. Finally the famous St Lucian dark bitter chocolate is used in the more conventional desserts as well as dressing and dips!
Start with: Kingfish Ceviche- A Kingfish fillet cooked in cacao pulp, coconut milk, chilli and lime pickle served with a cacao nib flatbread.
Indulge in: Confit of Duck- A leg and breast duck confit served with a local orange and Rabot Estate bitter dark chocolate sauce, white chocolate mashed potato, plantain crisps and carrots.
Something a bit lighter? Try the Mahi Mahi Salad served with a green coconut jelly, local pickled cucumber, flowering herbs, limed cacao nib oil dressing and creme fraiche.
Finish with: The Chocolate Genesis; a sumptuous nine stage tasting plate starting with truffles and rounding up with a shot of drinking chocolate.
