Chef reveals the brilliance of simplicity
Dallas' most iconic restaurant introduces its new executive chef today as Bruno Davaillon makes his official debut in the kitchen. Chef Davaillon comes to the Mansion from Mix, an Alain Ducasse restaurant, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2008 and 2009 under his leadership. Chef Davaillon, the fourth executive chef in the Mansion's 29-year-history, is the only Mansion chef to have earned a Michelin star and is the only Michelin-ranked chef to lead a Dallas restaurant.
A native of the Loire Valley in France, Chef Davaillon (pronounced Dav-e-on) is a graduate of CAP, Châteauroux Culinary School in Châteauroux, France. He ascended the ranks in some of the most highly acclaimed kitchens in Europe, including five two-star and one three-star Michelin ranked restaurants. In 1997 he moved to the United States to become Chef du Cuisine for a United Nations Ambassador. Chef Davaillon went on to assume the leadership positions at the St. Regis Los Angeles and Restaurant Beaucoup in San Francisco before being tapped by the famed Alain Ducasse to become Executive Chef of Mix in Las Vegas.
"We are thrilled beyond measure to have Bruno at the Mansion," said Duncan Graham, Managing Director of Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek. "He arrived in Dallas and was quick to spend time becoming well acquainted with the Mansion's culinary team as well as local purveyors and suppliers of high quality produce, meats and dairy."
Equally delighted to be at the Mansion, Davaillon added that "My family and I have been welcomed so warmly to Dallas by the Mansion team and the people we've met."
Chef Davaillon's cuisine defies narrow descriptions, rather it reveals the brilliance of simplicity. His approach involves choosing the freshest, finest ingredients and combining them to maximize the flavor and texture.
"I feel you should be able to taste every ingredient in a dish. Food should not be complicated or make someone guess what they're eating," Chef Davaillon says of his approach.
The chef has incorporated some of his latest creations to the dinner menu, which will not remain static, rather it will evolve seasonally and accommodate the tastes and desires of its guests. Highlights of the new dinner menu include:
• King Crab butternut squash soup, crispy spring roll and glazed chestnuts
• Shrimp cocktail, horseradish panna cotta, spicy tomato syrup
• Day boat scallops, cauliflower composition, ice wine vinegar emulsion
• Bison tenderloin au poivre, autumn vegetable fricassee
The Mansion's lunch menu will also feature new menu items which will be introduced next month.
The Mansion Restaurant has been delighting guests for more than 29 years. The proud tradition of culinary excellence and exquisite service will continue as Chef Bruno Davaillon leads the Mansion's talented culinary team to give guests the most inviting, approachable and valuable dining experience in Texas.
Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek retains the intimate ambience and charm of the private residence it once was. Originally built by a cotton magnate in 1925, the 16th-century Italian Renaissance-style estate was transformed 55 years later into a world-class restaurant and hotel with 143 elegantly furnished rooms and suites. Since its inception, the Mansion has consistently ranked as the only five-star, five-diamond hotel in Texas. In 2007, Rosewood announced a multi-million-dollar restaurant and bar redesign project. The innovative project adds modern design elements while paying tribute to signature historic and architectural details. It results in a contemporary and elegant restaurant, stylish bar and comfortable terrace, which all feature contemporary American cuisine.
