Canary Wharf’s about to get a little more lively thanks to Wimbledon and Plateau, which is putting on a spread with Limited Edition M de Minuty Rosé to create a St Tropez garden terrace for the summer.
A little bit of France in the financial district, it’s all about Plateau’s summertime rose brunch, a pink picnic package – pinknic, they’re calling it – and a delicious tennis-y rose dessert.
Think of a Mediterranean floral-filled slice’a bliss, decorated in lights, and festooned with plants. It’s a plant filled Instagram-poppin’ feast for the eyes that you won’t want to leave.
Oh, and you know that picnic package they’re doing? Well, it’s new for 2019, and in addition to summery tidbits, stars a bottle of limited edition Minuty Rosé to share.
The Pink-nic, served all-day, features a mix of savoury and sweet quintessential British bites; Braised beef cheek slider in a brioche bun with horseradish cream; Lobster roll with fine herb mayonnaise and fennel pollen; Yellow fin tuna tartare with lime and sesame and quick snacks such as Padron peppers; Sourdough bruschetta with minted ricotta, peas with broad beans and cocktail sausages with honey & mustard.
But if sitting a bit more rustic isn’t your jam, then Plateau is still going the classic option, offering either two (£20) or three (£25) courses, with the menu featuring brunch classics such as: Avocado on multi seed toast, with fried or poached egg; Eggs Benedict; and fried egg with chorizo, sweetcorn, spring onions, mushrooms and chilli. Larger plates from the Josper grill come in the form of: Grilled lamb merguez sausages with Provencal couscous and spicy tomato sauce; Shredded confit duck leg, hash brown and coleslaw; and cajun spiced soft shell crab burger topped with pickled cucumber, and lemon mayonnaise.
And now for Wimbledon, Plateau is putting on a rosé desert and cocktail throughout the biggest sporting event in the British calendar (1st-14th July). To match the crisp, citrus flavours of the refreshing M de Minuty Rose, the kitchen team will feature a Gariguette strawberry and elderflower jelly, compressed cucumber, mint, Pimm sorbet, orange tuile.
