GOURMET DINING PAGE - ALTAMER - ANGUILLA - BRITISH WEST INDIES


A 5-STAR PRIVATE ISLAND AND VILLA ENCLAVE

For THE discriminating traveler

Altamer Restaurant specializes in French and Caribbean cuisine with topical fresh daily specials created by Executive Chef Maurice Leduc. The menus have been created using the freshest ingredients in interesting combinations. In order to ensure new ideas and taking advantage of seasonal ingredients the menu is supplemented each day with a list of specials and creative desserts.

The Altamer standard of excellence is shown through a fine attention to detail and impeccable service. It all starts with the beachside setting as the waves gently roll onto the sand only 20 feet from the terrace of the restaurant. The view and feel of nature is enhanced by the modern architectural creation of the building itself. The architect, Myron Goldfinger created a structure using the Anguillian sailboat as inspiration. You will see in looking at the roof, the sails of four racing boats sailing the sea at high speed. The building design allows for maximum light and shadows, varying throughout the day, dancing before you in the dining room as you sit at your table. Best of all, the kitchen is a living work of art behind glass walls with the Chef and his team in full action.

The attention to detail is exemplified by the interior design of June Goldfinger. The silverware, glassware, furniture and all serving pieces were all designed especially for Altamer. The pieces all draw from the environment with a theme of silver shells throughout (designed from actual shells from the beach in front of Altamer). Immediately upon entering the restaurant you will fell the casual elegance of the layout and design. You will feel equally comfortable in a tuxedo or shorts and a shirt.

Altamer restaurant specializes in French and Caribbean cuisine with topical fresh daily specials created by Executive Chef Maurice Leduc. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menus have been created using the freshest ingredients in interesting combinations. In order to ensure new ideas and taking advantage of seasonal ingredients the menu is supplemented each day with a list of specials and creative desserts. Try one of the fresh lobsters from the tank off the front of the seaside terrace, a great experience!

Of course, it all comes down to service to ensure your perfect experience. You will not be disappointed. Led by the restaurant manager, Veronica Leduc and led by Lucie Harrigan and Preston Brooks, they will ensure the best service without being obtrusive.

Nightly entertainment each evening beginning at cocktails throughout high season adds to a feeling of relaxation as either light piano music or steel pans play in the background.

The Dining Room tables are a different shape in each villa and are made of thick glass designed to match the color of the Caribbean Sea seen outside Altamer's large windows. Distinctive lighting has been added below the table to create the effect of moonlight on the water.

Silverware has been uniquely designed for Altamer with international influences from Italy, France, Russia, Turkey, Brazil and Africa. The settings are enhanced by pieces from Faberge during the Tsarist period in Russia and Murano hand-blown stemware.

Guests will be provided sample menu choices prior to their visits as a tool for ideas. Any special requests should be advised in advance in order to ensure that ingredients are available and fresh.

Chef's Table
Do you love to cook?
Do you like to watch the Chef's in action?
Or just love great food and wine?

If you answer yes to any of these you must book the Chef's table at Altamer Restaurant. The table for six is located directly in the kitchen where you will not miss out what is happening behind the scenes. The team in the kitchen is great fun and will be part of your interactive evening. Of course, if you want to just sit back and relax, that's ok too.

Chef Leduc and his team will explain what is going on as it happens and of course there is the food. A true gourmet experience! You and your guests will be served a series of specials (5 to 9 courses) directly by the chef working the line. Each course will be specially created just for your group and not from the regular menu. Of course the perfect meal requires great wine. Don't worry, our sommelier will have wine recommendations from the extensive wine list that will perfectly accompany your meal.

The kitchen at Altamer is beautiful stainless steel and is behind glass, which allows you can see to the dining room and out to the sea. In addition, you can opt for a partition if you prefer privacy.

Each night is different and is tailored to the tastes and purpose of the meal… a 40th birthday party, a business meeting, a group of close friends, or just to experience the kitchen. With you own waiter, service will be swift but unobtrusive with a focus on creating an excellent dining experience right in the middle of the hub of activity.

The price is $550 for the table, which includes all food. The table is yours for the evening, so plan to spend as much time as you like. It is best to book in advance so the restaurant manager can coordinate your evening.

Chef Maurice Leduc
Executive Chef Maurice Leduc will use his vast culinary expertise to create local and international cuisine for Altamer villa and restaurant guests.
