OH DEVAUX!

Some say it’s our soil, or our reputation as the warmest spot in the British Isles, some say it’s the Vraic (local seaweed) farmers spread lovingly on Jersey Royals to make them grow into a coveted and most delicious potato. Whatever the secret, Jersey delivers food at its finest and freshest - Our little foodie island packs some flavour! Each season our chefs harness the essence of local and national produce to create dishes to delight and surprise you. From fondants and fresh seafood to succulent meats and aromatic seasoning, you’ll find food to savour and to suit your mood or occasion. We invite you to join us at one of our restaurants and enjoy the unique experience each one has to offer: from fine dining to beach casual, great views, friendly and attentive service and exciting wines. You’ll enjoy a range of dishes, but one thing is constant and that’s our passion for good food! Enjoy!

EAT DRINK MAGAZINE TERRACE GRILL HOTEL CRISTINA

the Thrill of the grill

who can resist the smell of food cooking on the grill? It conjures up feelings of holidays and eating outdoors. Nothing beats that wonderful chargrill flavour. Our chef at the Hotel Cristina has created a sizzling good menu of grills including steaks, burgers, chicken and seafood. Served up with fries and some home-made slaw â&#x20AC;&#x201C; food heaven!

EAT DRINK MAGAZINE TERRACE GRILL HOTEL CRISTINA

Easy going d i n i n g he Terrace Grill is a little known gem, renowned for its tranquillity, good food and beautiful views. It is so close to St Helier but so far away from the hustle and bustle of town. Escape into gourmet food and good times with friends and family. All beefsteaks are 21 day aged Irish beef from grass fed cows bred in the Slaney valley and cooked to your liking, although the chef will recommend rare! Be satisfied with our 10 oz Flat Iron or 8oz Sirloin, served with roasted cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, onion rings and fat chips. During the summer, we fire up the coals for a relaxed Sunday BBQ lunch on the terrace, a perfect place to spend a lazy day. For dessert dip into a decadent chocolate fondant with sweet swirls of zingy raspberry, or get unstuck in a sticky toffee pudding â&#x20AC;&#x201C; this is food to remember! Retire to our cosy bar area where you can beat your best friend at chess or Scrabble and perhaps sip a single malt whisky or an after dinner liqueur. Why not treat mum or friends to traditional cucumber sandwiches and decadent cakes with a delectable afternoon tea and let the conversation flow over a cheeky glass of champagne.

the napa valley

method: Put all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a Martini glass over chocolate drizzles.

We are pleased to introduce Devaux, a dynamic Champagne from the heart of the region. Enjoy a glass of this impressive, full, rich and complex champagne; it’s a perfect addition to food, or as an aperitif. Devaux is one of the oldest Champagne producers, originally founded in 1846 by brothers Jules and Auguste Devaux. The majority of the vineyards are found on sunny slopes of the Côte des Bars, with a proportion of the Chardonnay being sourced from the fine chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs to give liveliness and elegance. We think you will really enjoy and savour this wonderful champagne here in Jersey, just ask our sommelier or restaurant staff for more information. Santé!
