Big blue backyard seasonal menu

Paul, big blue backyard's in house Chef and owner, has designed this menu for sharing, using the freshest ingredients available from local producers.

The dish you choose is cooked specifically for you and served to your hideaway, because it’s your private dining experience! 

Every dinner begins with a generous canape for you to enjoy as your table is set for dinner.

In addition to this seasonal menu, each day Paul prepares the “Chefs dinner” which is the dinner of the day or the "plate de jour".

The Chefs dinner is included in all our intimate and indulgent packages.
