Andrew Soddy’s passion for the latest food offering at L’Horizon Beach Hotel and Spa is infectious.
As the hotel’s executive head chef describes the menu in the new Fusion restaurant, he brings the flavours and aromatics to life so vividly that you can almost see and taste each course.
The concept for the Fusion restaurant was born just over a year ago, with the team trialling the theme with a three-week pop-up restaurant last March.
So how exactly does he sum up the concept?
‘It is not a curry house,’ he said emphatically, ‘but the flavours are those of authentic eastern cuisine as I have experienced it, and been inspired by it, during my travels.’
