Le Printemps Arrives at Balthazar London

London restaurant Balthazar has announced the launch of its spring campaign,  ‘Le Printemps’. The campaign will celebrate the change in seasons with a fanciful French-themed floral installation, pop-up flower shop, and spring specials created in collaboration with Grey Goose vodka.  

Situated on the corner of Russell and Wellington Street in the heart of Covent Garden,  just across from The Royal Opera House, Balthazar shares “The  Flower Cellars” building, dating back to the 1870s, with The London Film Museum. The spring campaign will pay homage to this rich history, and to Covent Garden’s ties to London’s historical flower markets. 

The Balthazar bar team have carefully created a selection of spritz cocktails, in partnership with Grey Goose Vodka and Fever Tree. Additionally, guests will also be able to sip on magnums of rosé, which will be theatrically poured over the shoulder by Balthazar’s waiting staff, adding to the dining experience for each visitor.  

On selected dates throughout April guests dining in the restaurant will also be able to enjoy live Parisian jazz performances, alongside a selection of culinary classics and fresh spring dishes. Starters are set to include dressed crab with herb mayonnaise and lemon, and buffalo mozzarella with pear, quince compote, glazed pecans and truffle honey,  while main courses will include Cotlet de porc Iberico grilled cutlet with honey glaze, merguez sausage, roast peppers and spicy tomato sauce, pan-fried sea bass with mussels, samphire with a saffron emulsion, or chargrilled halloumi with red pepper sauce, fregola, tomatoes and olives. Those with a sweet tooth can also enjoy the classic rum baba, with strawberries and Chantilly cream, cherry sundae with vanilla ice cream, meringue, and cherry mousse, or even delicious chocolate profiteroles with vanilla ice cream, warm chocolate sauce, topped with gold flakes. 

General Manager of Balthazar, Vidmantas Gricius, says, “We are thrilled to pay homage to the local Covent Garden area with the launch of our latest spring campaign. I cannot wait for guests to enjoy our eye-catching installation and pop-up flower shop, as well as our much-loved classics and seasonal menus”.
