Vanille Salée at Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts

Discerning diners can sample the innovative ‘Vanille Salée’ promotion from February 21 to March 21, 2017. Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts has rolled out its new vanilla-inspired savory menu at properties globally following the concept’s overwhelming success in Europe.


Consisting of six one-of-a-kind vanilla-enhanced dishes. The concept is now made available at Mövenpick Hotel Mactan Island Cebu. As well as in other properties across the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.

Traditionally used for desserts, vanilla produces exciting results when added to hearty savory dishes. Its mild flavor harmonizes to surprising perfection with white meats and fish. Subtly reinforcing roasting aromas and herbal scents. Vanilla also transforms tomatoes, beetroot and even onions with an unexpected touch of the exotic.

Six savory vanilla creations encapsulate this exceptional taste experience. Championing the queen of spices at Mövenpick hotels worldwide.


The tempting entrées include “White onion velouté” (soup), “Dashiki of tuna and salmon” and “Goat cheese and figs salad”. The main course menu features “Pike fish fillet”, “Veal tenderloin and Garden Vegetables” and “Guinea Fowl Breast Melba”.


“Our talented Director of Food & Beverage Europe, Thomas Wallenstein concocted these vanilla creations, who has set out to surprise our guests with this interesting mix of flavors,” said Olivier Chavy, President, and CEO, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts.

“‘Vanille Salée’ is a real palate pleaser. We hope food enthusiasts dining at all our properties around Asia, Africa, and the Middle East enjoy this new gastronomic experience.”

Bourbon Vanilla

All the dishes used Fine Bourbon vanilla. Veracruz, a region of the Gulf of Mexico, is regarded as the global home of vanilla-growing. As long ago as the 14th century, the Aztecs enjoyed the fragrance of fermented orchid pods. It was not until the 19th century that cuttings of vanilla spice arrived in Europe, in the botanical gardens of Paris. From there, they were transported to Madagascar and Réunion, then known as Île Bourbon – hence the name Bourbon vanilla. The French titles of the six ‘Vanille Salée’ dishes pay tribute to vanilla’s origins.
