Chino Latino special menu for New Years Eve
Chino Latino at the Park Plaza Riverbank is celebrating their 10 year anniversary with a special menu. Executive Group Chef Werner Seebach has created a ten-course Tasting Menu, featuring a retrospective of the Pan-Asian restaurant’s signature dishes of the past decade, to end off the year in fabulous style.
I was invited to preview the New Years Eve dinner a week ago. At first I got a bit confused and went to the Park Plaza Westminster but the Park Plaza Riverside London is just a few minutes down the road and is even closer to the Thames. The first thing that strikes you is the cherry red restaurant sign. It’s rather dark in the restaurant but each table has it’s own spotlight so you can at least see what your eating.
The New Years Eve menu starts off with a series of Small Dishes of:
- Beetroot, yuzu cream, port reduction
- a plate of silky Kampachi sashimi
- and the Tenkasu roll – tuna, salmon, seabass and avocaodo
That’s followed by the Next Course :
- Marinated blowtorched salmon
- Grilled scallops and Wagyu beef taquitos
The Main Dishes are a choice of Chilean Seabass and Lamb Cutlets.
The menu finishes off with Passion Fruit cheesecake and Moshi ice cream. The New Years Eve menu is available for £79 per person, drinks not included.
My friend and I went a bit off piste and order the Pekin Duck which was prepared for us table side and had just the right bit of crispiness to it. We also sampled the calamari and tempura prawns in shiso leaf. I really enjoyed the Tenkasu roll as well, but I do love a good sushi roll.
If you haven’t booked your New Years Eve dinner yet, the Park Plaza Riverside would be a great location and as an added bonus, you can probably see the Eye and the fireworks from the hotel front door.
