Rhubarb at Max’s

Of course there’s the wonderful homemade cordon bleu. Of course there’s the timeless Caesar salad. Of course there are the delicious croque-monsieur and club sandwiches. But did you know that Alexandra Vialette and her brigade at Brasserie MAX also offer a dessert menu that’s as gourmet as it is comforting? That’s right! In collaboration with her chef, Yohan Castanet, the owner of this Eaux-Vives landmark makes us succumb to sweet temptation with her brioche French toast, nutella, roasted hazelnuts and vanilla ice cream, or her crème brûlée with orange blossom, raspberry and orange gel. But it’s the poêlée of rhubarb and strawberries, vegan crumble and strawberry sorbet that wins the sweetest votes. To be enjoyed without moderation.
