Burrata tomatoes, a delicacy of Italian cuisine, are now a must-have starter in Parisian restaurants. But where can you enjoy the best version of this iconic dish in the French capital? Our answer is unequivocal: aboard the Diamant Bleu, during a dinner cruise on the Seine.
The festive dinner cruise menu offers a starter that enhances this great classic: “Collection tomatoes and burrata, candied peppers, Taggiasche olives, basil oil”. This culinary creation showcases multi-colored French tomatoes carefully selected for their freshness and incomparable flavor.
Burrata, the quintessential Italian cheese, is the star ingredient of this dish. Unlike mozzarella di bufala, burrata has a uniquely creamy texture thanks to its pasta filata, which encloses a smooth center of cream and fresh pasta. Traditionally made from buffalo milk (although some versions use cow’s milk), it adds an incomparable richness to the dish.
The chef at Diamant Bleu revisits the traditional caprese salad by adding elements that enhance the flavors: candied peppers that bring a caramelized sweetness, taggiasche olives for a slightly salty note, and a drizzle of basil olive oil that delicately perfumes the whole.
Unlike other restaurants that add balsamic vinegar or tomato sauce, Diamant Bleu chooses simplicity to showcase the quality of its products. No need for gimmicks when the ingredients are of such high quality!
This starter is not only a delight for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. The careful presentation makes it an ideal subject for a Instagram post that is sure to be a hit. The vibrant colors of the cherry tomatoes and beefsteak tomatoes contrast beautifully with the pristine white of the burrata, all enhanced by the green leaves of the basil.
Each bite offers a perfect blend of tangy freshness from tomatoes, creamy sweetness from filata cheese, and aromatic aromas from olive oil and basil. A simple addition of salt is all it takes to bring out all the flavors of this seemingly simple but remarkably complex dish.
What makes the experience even more memorable is the setting in which you will enjoy this starter. Imagine yourself comfortably seated aboard a barge, admiring the illuminated Parisian monuments while savoring this Italian delight. The price of the dinner cruise is largely justified by the quality of the dishes and the unique experience offered by the Diamant Bleu.
The food critics and regular customers agree that Diamant Bleu’s burrata tomato deserves top marks for both its freshness and the perfect balance of its flavors.
