Dedicated to his profession, Sebastien had worked in different renowned restaurants and hotels in his native country including two Michelin Star restaurants. His credentials in the food industry include the CAP Cuisine, BEP Cuisine and Brevet Professionel Cuisine. Last Sept. 19 the Chaweng Regent Beach Resort, operator of the Red Snapper, hosted the annual Red Snapper Dinner where some of the new Mediterranean dishes created by Sebastien were served. Sebastien said the new menu “is a bit trendier. There are plenty of new dishes with different horizons of flavors, yet still keeping the Mediterranean influence.” The new starters were exceptional, especially the Smoked Salmon and Snapper Aïoli. A particularly creative new main entrée is the White Snapper Gremolata and the Slow-cooked New Zealand Lamb Shank with Moroccan spices and chops. For fanciers of char-grilled food, there’s a huge section. The “Wickedly Tempting Desserts” menu includes White Chocolate Panacotta with coconut treat and a Crème Brule infused with red chili. Red Snapper offers many choices of where to sit. There is a 20-seat terrace, shielded from the road by a virtual jungle of flora, allowing diners to view passersby, who don’t see you as they stroll past the terrace. Inside the 60-seat climate-controlled restaurant are beautifully designed and furnished dining areas with comfy sofas set amid attractive sculptured wicker pillars with lots of flowering plants in huge pots. They have discreet lighting, flagstone flooring and beautiful table accoutrements. A great lounge area features daily performances of the in-house Colombian band, which keeps everyone entertained from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m. (the restaurant is open from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m.). The Snapper’s award-winning bartender is always ready to surprise guests with his own specially created cocktails.
