THE GILDED TABLE | SEASONAL EDITIONS

THE GILDED TABLE: JUNE  •  L’été s’invite à la table… A summer menu inspired by the breezes of the Côte d’Azur — from lemon-scented terraces to seaside tables beneath the pines. This June, we gather under golden light with Provençal canapés, chilled pasta salads, and heirloom tomato tarts fresh from the garden.

Each dish tells a sun-kissed story — of linen-draped brunches, citrus-dotted courtyards, and the quiet poetry of summer days by the sea.
