For the first time in the restaurant’s history, Restaurant Latour at Crystal Springs Resort (One Wild Turkey Way, Hamburg NJ) is offering Sunday brunch (11am – 3pm).
Jean Paul Lourdes, the new Chef de Latour, has created a lavish multi-course brunch featuring a abundance of baked goods, brunch and savory dishes, organic coffee brewed to order and fresh juices.
The meal begins with a parade of freshly-baked pastries like pistachio madeleines and aged cheddar scones that are served in a progression during the meal for the table. The pastries are served alongside various breads and housemade preserves and spreads. Non-alcoholic beverages are included in the price of the brunch.
The menu is composed of small and large dishes and guests can choose between the Petite Tasting ($55 for any two plates from a selection of small and large dishes) or the Grand Tasting ($75 for any three dishes). The small dishes feature grains and fruits like the Sicilian blood oranges with saffron and the quinoa with victorian pineapple and poppy seeds. The large dishes feature organic scrambled eggs with Scottish smoked salmon, a dungeness crab omelet with peas and brie, a Swedish sandwich with slices of roast pork with fennel and harissa and a 45-day dry-aged New York Strip Steak with creamed spinach.

Chef Lourdes offers freshly-made juices, squeezed to order, and housemade sodas with flavors like bing cherry and yuzu or wild ginger and Meyer lemon. There is also a special selection of champagne by the glass, including Krug Grand Cuvee and Ruinart Brut Rose, as well as brunch cocktails such as a Bloody Mary or Mojito, can be enjoyed as well (alcoholic beverages are additional).
Reservations for brunch can be made by calling 973-827-5996 ext. 3.
I had an opportunity to sample the menu a few weeks back as it was being created and pampered is how guests will feel with the whole experience.
Cheers,
Veronique
