Captain James

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

We were able to try this yummy restaurant that is shaped like a boat!! Captain James @captainjamesbaltimore ( named after the hubby 🙂 ) It’s actually owned by 3 guys that worked in a steam ship and their captain’s name was James
Captain James (1) Captain James (2) Captain James (5) Captain James (4) Captain James (3)Captain James (19)  Baltimore is known for blue crabs and though it was not yet in season ( which explains the small size) we were still able to try some and we super enjoyed it. This is the crab menu – by dozen and by size. See how they served and prepared it. They season it with Old Bay seasoning and we asked for butter. yum yum  #captainjamesbaltimore #h2hcrabsCaptain James (16)Captain James (17) Captain James (18) Captain James (25) Captain James (29) Captain James (28) Captain James (27) Captain James (26)Captain James (6)Captain James (10) Captain James (24) Captain James (7)Captain James (20)Captain James (23)Captain James (9) Captain James (22) Captain James (8)Captain James (21) Captain James (14) Captain James (13) Captain James (12) Captain James (11)Captain James (30)

Dinner for the twins at Mirèio @rafflesmakatihotel – James and John – given by the twins’ wives because we love  them and because we know they want to spend their special day with their siblings #mireio#rafflesmakati #h2hcelebrations

James & John 48 (12) James & John 48 (31) James & John 48 (32) James & John 48 (33) Meet the new Chef de Cuisine – A native from Provençe, Mirèio’s new master chef, Hervé Clair, brings with him an impressive culinary pedigree. The elegant brasserie will offer exciting new classic and creative dishes under Clair’s direction, with a spirit of Provence and France.

Clair started his career with an apprenticeship in Les Pins Penché, a gourmet restaurant in Château de Toulon in France. He continued to develop his passion for the culinary arts by training under culinary idol Alain Ducasse in three acclaimed Ducasse restaurants, namely: the La Bastide de Moustiers in Provence; the Parisian bistro Aux Lyonnais in Paris; and the renowned Le Relais du Parc at the Hotel Mariott Paris—all known for their classic and innovative take on French gastronomic cuisine. After seven years with the Alain Ducasse Enterprise, he went on to become the Sous Chef in the prestigious Michelin star restaurant, Les Fables de la Fontaine, in Paris. In 2014, he then first joined the hotel industry at the charming Hotel & Spa L’Alta Peyra in Saint Véran, France.

Prior to joining the property, Chef Clair was Chef Adjoint at the La Maison 1888 in Danang, Vietnam. The famed restaurant was created by the legendary three-Michelin star Chef Pierre Gagnaire, who Clair worked closely with. With his background and expertise in French cuisine, Chef Clair will take the helm of the culinary team at Raffles Makati’s Mirèio.
