Michelin-Starred Mastery: Pink Pearl Phu Quoc Unveils Exquisite New Tasting Menu by Chef Olivier Elzer
The emerald waters of Khem Beach have long been a siren call for luxury travelers, but this season, the most captivating waves are being made inside a historic pink mansion.
Pink Pearl, the premier fine-dining institution at JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay Resort & Spa, has officially elevated Vietnam’s gastronomic landscape. In a sophisticated garden soirée held on March 31, 2026, the restaurant unveiled a new 8-course tasting menu curated by the legendary Chef Olivier Elzer—a culinary titan whose career is decorated with a staggering 30 Michelin stars.
A Garden Soirée: Celebrating Gastronomy in Phu Quoc
The launch wasn't merely a dinner; it was a "culinary unveiling." Under a canopy of warm lights and lush tropical greenery, international gourmands and distinguished guests gathered to witness Chef Elzer and Chef de Cuisine Danny bring a new vision to life. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between effortless sophistication and the high-energy buzz of a premier lifestyle event.
As the evening progressed, it became clear that this menu is a defining expression of Pink Pearl’s evolution—a seamless narrative where classical French technique meets the vibrant soul of Asian flavors.
The 8-Course Tasting Menu: Precision Meets Emotion
Chef Elzer’s philosophy centers on three pillars: precision, balance, and respect for the natural character of ingredients. This signature approach is vividly reflected in the new menu, which guides guests through a series of expressive chapters:
Oceanic Beginnings: The journey opens with Oscietra Caviar paired with bonito tartare and citrus gel, followed by seared Scallops with horseradish cream—a masterclass in balancing oceanic depth with bright, creamy textures.
Regional Inspiration: A standout highlight is the Vietnamese Bulot. Served in a clear seafood consommé, this dish celebrates local coastal flavors through the refined lens of French tradition.
The Showstoppers: The menu reaches its crescendo with the Carabinero Red Prawn adorned with Kristal Caviar, and the centerpiece: Charcoal-Grilled A5 Wagyu. The beef is paired with a braised oyster blade and vadouvan sauce, delivering an explosion of umami complexity.
The Grand Finale: After a refreshing Passion Fruit granita with cachaça, the experience concludes with an elegant Pavlova, featuring exotic fruit sorbet and airy chantilly cream.
“French gastronomy is not only about technique—it is about emotion, balance, and creating moments that guests will remember long after the meal ends,” says Chef Olivier Elzer.
A Destination for Discerning Gourmands
Set within a grand architectural masterpiece overlooking the Gulf of Thailand, Pink Pearl continues to push the boundaries of fine dining in Southeast Asia. Whether you are a dedicated foodie or a luxury traveler seeking a world-class lifestyle experience, this new menu offers a compelling reason to put Phu Quoc at the top of your 2026 travel bucket list.
