Asian tapas at Constance Le Prince Maurice

Chefs at Constance Le Prince Maurice have merged Asian specialities like sushi, noodles and dim sum to create a unique ‘Asian tapas’ menu.

The blending of Asian flavours in light, delicious bite-sized treats served against the laid-back poolside vibe of the Laguna Bar has proved hugely popular with guests.

Originally the inspiration of Chef Li Junwei, who described the food prepared at the Asian Tapas Corner as, ‘a unique concept where we serve sushi, noodles, dim sum, Asian tapas and desserts all prepared in front of the guests.’

Guests can enjoy a light lunch with views over the infinity pool to the beach beyond or a sumptuous evening treat with cocktails or whiskey (yes, it’s a delicious pairing) in the evening, Asian Tapas is a light, delicious option.

Some Asian Tapas treats to try:

The Laguna Bar's chicken noodles

The luxurious, elegant setting of Le Prince Maurice with its fine dining restaurants and emphasis on wellbeing is the perfect place to kick off your Fast Diet or to give it an extra boost.

Created by Fast Diet co-creator Mimi Spencer, the Kickstart Fast Diet at Le Prince Maurice builds the 5:2 approach into a program of specially created menus, spa treatments and exercise routines.

On fast days guests can enjoy delicious carefully calorie-counted dishes and on non-fast days Mimi has a range of recommendations for scrumptious, healthy treats marked on the menu as ‘Mimi Recommends’.

She even recommends a range of lower-calorie cocktails such as the ‘skinny mojito’ and ‘sea breeze over lots of ice’.

As part of the Kickstart Fast Diet program there are also some key spa treatments recommended by Mimi to help optimise the diet’s effect such as the anti-cellulite treatment at the hotel’s award-winning Sisley Spa.
