Four Seasons Hotel Des Bergues Geneva reveals its festive offerings for the 2012 Holiday season.  

Il Lago Restaurant

At Michelin-starred Il Lago, which serves authentic Italian dishes following age-old recipes, Chef Massimiliano Sena has crafted exquisite menus to spoil guests this holiday season, with a selection of wintery dishes including cream of squash and buffalo ricotta; veal cheek, squash chutney and Alba white truffle; and an exquisite Christmas log made with chocolate and hazelnuts.

To celebrate the New Year, the chef will dazzle diners with luscious creations, including a lobster, foie gras and carrot starter; and a melt-in-the-mouth turbot dish served with cauliflower, Piedmont chestnuts and Alba white truffle. Guests can soak up the festive buzz in the elegant dining room, which features soft blue color palettes and Neapolitan Renaissance works of art.

Restaurant Izumi

At Izumi, the Hotel’s Japanese fusion restaurant serving authentic Nikkei dishes, Chef Mitsu Tsukada has created a magical menu available throughout December 2021, with mouth-watering grilled langoustines in spicy butter served with yuzu sauce; and a melt-in-your-mouth wagyu beef rossini. A special caviar cocktail creation will also be available throughout December.

Guests can ring in the New Year with a decadent set menu featuring the likes of nigiris and scallop tempura with Jerusalem artichoke puree. To enhance the atmosphere of the holiday season, the chef will offer a selection of dishes celebrating tuna and caviar.

Strolling musicians will provide live music performances at the Hotel’s three dining outlets, with merry tunes creating a lively, sophisticated ambience.

Bar des Bergues

The bar’s regular menu will be enhanced with scrumptious seasonal fare, with an array of dishes prepared using the season’s much-prized truffle. From November 20, 2021, guests can savor a decadent hot chocolate with white truffle cream served with a butter-infused white truffle biscuit. Expert mixologists shake up comforting winter warmers, such as mulled wine and hot toddies – perfect to enjoy on a cold and snowy evening.
