What we Loved
HSE Gourmet has a full menu with varieties, with every dish being a carefully orchestrated symphony of love and craftsmanship. Their team of passionate chefs pour their hearts and souls into every plate, blending the finest ingredients with precision to create a truly magical experience.
Start your gastronomic adventure with their delectable appetizers, like the Pumpkin Curry, made with Chickpea Zucchini & Spinach and served with herbed rice. Or perhaps you’d prefer the Asian style Crispy Wings, served with an Asian-inspired spicy garlic ginger sweet sauce & house made chili jam.
For the main course, dive into the sumptuous Tuscan Salmon, a pan-seared salmon filet in creamed butter sauce, pea & sweet corn succotash, served with crusted herbed mash. Or indulge in the melt-in-your-mouth Wild Mushroom Truffle Pasta. Chef Enyioha uses Conchigiloni pasta (different from the penne you usually get offered in Lagos restaurants), paired with wild mushrooms tossed in cream, truffle butter and finished with fresh herbs.
And don’t forget to leave room for dessert! You can’t go wrong with their Molten lava cake. Treat yourself to the luscious chocolate dessert, rich and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness.
