Four Seasons Hotel Doha’s popular Italian restaurant Il Teatro is presenting a special fine dining menu in tribute to the ‘Tartufo Bianco d’Alba” – the famed Alba White Truffle, praised within culinary circles as the “diamond of the kitchen”. The limited edition menu will be launched on November 7 and will run until stocks last.
The subterranean ingredient hails from the mushroom family and is held in high esteem on account of its rarity, brief seasonal appearance and truly distinctive flavour and aroma. The white truffles from Alba are considered the finest in Italy and will be given pride of place in the special four-course menu created by Chef Aldo Cadau.
Guests can look forward to dishes that best display the truffle’s delicate flavour, including an antipasti of soft poached egg, asparagus, truffle polenta and whole wheat crouton, a primi (first-course) of truffle risotto, a secondi (second-course) of truffle duck breast with accompaniments and a dolci (dessert) featuring a combination of poached pear and almond tart, white chocolate truffle ice cream and orange blossom honey.
The dinner will begin at 8pm and three Italian chefs will be in attendance to freshly shave the truffle at the table of each guest as well as answer any questions guests may have about the Alba White Truffle.
Guests can choose between two packages of QR500 or QR700 (depending on the drinks you chose).
Each of the two packages offers a standard portion of truffle, additional portions can be ordered at an extra charge. Guests can also inform the restaurant in advance of any food intolerances that would enable the team to create an ad hoc menu that would enable enjoyment of the truffle while keeping in mind dietary restrictions.
