In the run-up to Valentine’s Day, Sauterelle restaurant in London and Boodles fine jewellers are joining hands to propose a dazzling dinner menu: a luxurious six-course meal served with a 1.5-carat diamond engagement ring.
The Valentine’s Day menu starts with Scallops just-warm with caviar d’Aquitaine and a tasting of Sussex beetroots with whipped goat’s curd and toasted pine nuts, followed by Seared red mullet with ratatouille, basil oil and mullet soup to share and Goosnargh duck breast, caramelised chicory, shallot purée and baby watercress. The meal elegantly concludes with La Fromagerie cheese selection; Buttermilk pannacotta with Lincolnshire rhubarb and Champagne granité; and tea, coffee and petit fours. Boodles, the family owned British company established over 200 years ago, provides the fairy-tale ending to the romantic dinner, a 1-carat Ashoka-cut diamond ring with 62 facets, exclusive to Boodles in the UK and customised to give off an incomparable sparkle. It is surrounded by a further 0.55 carats of round brilliant-cut diamonds on a platinum band.
The menu will be available from 7th-21st February 2013 and priced at £6,250. The dinner is also available without the diamond ring, and is priced at £55 with a glass of Champagne and £85 with wine pairing.
