Presents Three-Dimensional Aromatic Cuisine At Vida Rica
Macau, 20 April 2015 – On 23 and 24 May 2015, Vida Rica Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental, Macau presents guest chef Thomas Bühner from the three-star Michelin restaurant La Vie in Osnabrück, Germany, which also boasts 19 out of 20 points in the prestigious Gault & Millau gourmet guide. One of only ten German chefs awarded with three stars, Chef Bühner will showcase his innovative cuisine, made using progressive cooking techniques and presented with an artistic style.
Chef Bühner is famous for his “three-dimensional aromatic cuisine”, an emphasis on the individual product’s natural flavours, a special penchant for low-temperature cooking and a harmonious balance of flavours and textures in his set menus. Diners can explore his unique approach to haute cuisine with a six-course degustation dinner menu, featuring dishes such as foie gras panna cotta with cocoa jelly and lemon granite; turbot fish confit in olive oil with broccoli couscous, chick pea, mud crab, North Sea grey shrimp and Joselito Iberico ham; and more. Priced at MOP 1,888 per person. His avant-garde style is also highlighted in his four-course lunch menu, priced at MOP 688 per person. Both menus offer a choice of wine pairing.
Inspired by his childhood memories in his grandparents’ pub, Bühner had settled on becoming an outstanding chef at a young age. He trained in several restaurants around Germany before taking up the post of Chef de Partie at Harald Wohlfahrt’s Schwarzwaldstube, which he sees as a turning point in his career. In this highly esteemed restaurant, he did not only learn discipline and consistency but also a down-to-earth attitude and humaneness which prepared him for his next position as Chef de Cuisine at the La Table Restaurant in Dortmund in 1991, which was awarded its first Michelin star five years later, followed by a second star in 1998.
In 2001, Bühner was awarded “Rising Star of the Year” by the Gault & Millau, and was voted “Chef of the Year” five years later. Together with his business partner, Thayarni Kanagaratnam, he has been running the restaurant La Vie since April 2006, which has earned three Michelin stars since 2012.

米芝蓮三星名廚 THOMAS BÜHNER 親臨御苑餐廳
呈獻三維立體味蕾饗宴
澳門，2015年4月20日 – 2015年5月23日及24日，澳門文華東方酒店邀請德國名廚Thomas Bühner親臨御苑餐廳獻藝。他於德國奧斯納布呂克 (Osnabrück) 開設的La Vie餐廳，擁有米芝蓮三星和法國權威美食指南 Gault & Millau 19分 (滿分為20分) 之雙項殊榮；他亦為全球僅十位榮獲米芝蓮三星的德國名廚之一。推廣期間，他將以突破傳統的前衛料理方式和美不勝收的藝術排盤，呈獻絕無僅有的美食饗宴。
Bühner的料理哲學—「三維立體馥郁美饌」，廣為食評與饕客所稱道。其三維包括：突顯各食材的天然風味、堅持低溫烹調技法，以及務求每道菜式之間在滋味和口感上的和諧平衡，讓用餐宛如聆聽交響樂般美妙動人。
賓客可細嚐Bühner的六道菜式精選晚餐，探索其獨樹一幟的料理風格。菜式包括鴨肝奶凍配可可啫喱及檸檬、防風草及開心果配黑蒜椰子忌廉，以及橄欖油油浸多寶魚配西蘭花中東米及鷹嘴豆伴蟹肉、北海蝦與西班牙風乾火腿等。價格為每位澳門幣1,888元。此外，四道菜式午餐亦淋漓盡現Bühner的創新作風，價格為每位澳門幣688元。兩款菜單皆提供絕佳的餐酒搭配。
Bühner幼時常流連於祖父母經營的餐館，因而深受啟發，自小矢志成為一位出色的廚師。他曾於德國各地多間餐廳磨鍊學習，練就一身好廚藝。優秀的表現讓他獲得德國頂尖大廚Harald Wohlfahrt的賞識，並於其掌杓的豪華餐廳Schwarzwaldstube擔任部門總廚。Bühner視這段時期為職涯中的轉捩點，他不僅料理技法更上一層樓，更體會到講究紀律和追求一貫高品質之餘，亦須具備腳踏實地的態度和以仁為本的精神。這樣的歷練讓他於1991年在德國多特蒙德 (Dortmund) 擔任La Table餐廳的總廚時有更好的發揮。在他的帶領下，La Table於1996年首奪米芝蓮一星，兩年後再贏得二星榮耀。
2001年，Bühner獲得 Gault & Millau 頒發之「年度崛起新星」獎，五年後又獲選為「年度最佳廚師」。自2006年四月起，他與合夥人Thayarni Kanagaratnam共同開設La Vie餐廳，在兩人的用心經營下，La Vie從2012年起四度蟬聯米芝蓮三星殊榮。
