SKYAVENUE | CAFÉS RICHARD PARIS - 1892 @ RESORTS WORLD GENTING
From Saint-Germain-des-Prés to Montmartre via the Grand Boulevards, Cafés Richards- a unique bistro that
offers atmospheric space fusing a blend of emotion, culture and animated
discussion, has now arrived much nearer to us at SkyAvenue. This international
foray into the retail world of cafes, is part of SkyAvenue’s flagship new
openings in conjunction of the newfangled lifestyle mall, set forth with an unprecedented
motley of dining and shopping options.
If everyone of the
thousands of café and restaurants in Paris has its own charisma, they too have
one thing in common, which is Cafés Richard; a key factor contributing to their
authenticity.
Cafés Richards is a traditional French-style
coffee roaster. Evolving from the Maison Richard founded in 1892, it has
remained as family business throughout the years. Pierre Richard runs the
business today with his two children; Anne and Arnaud, combining the human
values for which the company is known with the expertise of its specialists.
In a nod to the French way
of life, where a café is more than a grab-and-go caffeine stop, Cafés Richard
has modelled its seating areas after the ones in Paris.
Divided into four zones,
the 263-square-metre café can sit more than 120 customers. There are intimate
booths for tête-à-tête conversations, alfresco for cool mountain air, wicker
chairs facing out to the walkway for people-watching and banquette seating
for groups of friends. The most coveted seats will undoubtedly be the
ones nestled within a stylized fiberglass and steel Frangipani
‘flower’ which can seat up to 34.
The designers
took design elements of a classic
French café – brass rails, mosaic floor,
cloth awnings and raffia wicker chairs – and gave them a fresh
interpretation. For example, while brass is a traditional finish, the designers
have gone with a satin brush finish for the round tables for a contemporary
interpretation of a more traditional look and feel.
Colourful oversized
advertising posters and 19th -century pendant lamps are juxtaposed against a
minimalistic ceiling in metallic paint while red accents from the retro tea
canisters along the wall play against the black and white monochrome.
Their passion for espresso
is closely linked with their expertise when it comes to carefully selecting the
most quality beans and assuring the perfect traditional French roast. The
tasting experience is the ultimate phase, essential for guaranteeing the most
developed aromas and the right balance. This professionalism and know-how has
given rise to prestigious coffee such as Perle Noire for instance.

Or
more fondly locally known as Americano
Cafés Richards has also been applauded
for its wonderful range of classic and herbal infusions. Traditional flavours
and delicious innovation delight those who crave for serenity and well-being,
adding a sublime dimension to their treasured tea drinking ritual.

Connoisseur
of wines and coffee cocktails are not left behind too.
For those who prefer a
twist to their caffeine intake, there are coffee cocktails and tea cocktails to
tease their tastebuds. A few were specially concocted for Resorts World
Genting, such as the French Genting, a combination of French orange liqueur,
espresso and local Bentong ginger.

Besides
an all-day dining menu, Cafés Richard also serves Parisian High Tea and European cuisine.
Parisian High Tea is available between 2:30pm
and 5:30pm, which is ideal for coffee or tea lovers needing some
bites to go with. Savories such as Blini
with Smoked Salmon and Chive Dressing, Smoked Duck with Melon,
Salted Beef on French Toast, and Foie Gras Mousse on Vol-Au Vent and
Cranberry Dressing will whet your appetite. The High Tea also comes with a
selection of sweets that include Mini Éclair, Cheese Cake, Profiteroles and
Crème Brûlée.
For diners that love a full meal, Cafés Richard has a selection of appetizers, salads & soups, main courses, and desserts. Top of the list for its main dish is Saumon Rôti – fresh Norwegian Salmon slow baked in oven drizzled with lemon butter sauce. For pasta enthusiast, the outlet offers Spaghetti Aux Escargots where spaghetti is cooked with braised escargots and crème sauce. As for meat lover, one may opt for roasted French duck, char-broiled chicken or grilled Australian beef sirloin for a nourishing meal.
Café Richards is also opened for breakfast, thus, early birds can try their Le Parisien set where you will be served with a freshly baked croissant with artisan jam as well as a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of coffee or tea. Alternatively, you may try their Le Continental set that comes with a toasted French baguette instead.
Talking about recreating a Parisian café, from the classic black-and-white mosaic floor tiles, to the cloth awnings and raffia wicker chairs, Cafés Richard has meticulously recreated the quintessential Parisian café at SkyAvenue.
