Fine dining restaurant Tassili at St Helier’s AA five star Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa has retained its prestigious Three AA Rosette rating for another year. The Rosettes are awarded twice a year and recognise those restaurants that demonstrate excellence in both the culinary standards and service.

AA Inspector, Peter Sturdey said, “Dinner in Tassili was a highlight. It was an excellent meal from start to finish with some very refined dishes served. There were elements of the meal that were higher than the Three Rosette rating that Tassili currently holds.”

Inspired by his French heritage and love of fresh Jersey produce, Executive Head Chef Nicolas Valmagna’s menus provide a breath of fresh air to the Jersey food scene; combining superb Jersey ingredients with some of his French favourites from the Pyrénées and Nantes region.

Commenting on the news Martin Kelly, General Manager of Grand Jersey said, “I am delighted that we have retained our Three AA Rosettes for a second year. It’s a great achievement from Nicolas and the team. What is also fantastic is that Nicolas has ensured that the quality of the food throughout the hotel is evolving and not just focusing on one restaurant within the hotel. We think Nicolas’ menus certainly deserve a place on the food lover’s radar.”

Nicolas Valmagna said, “I am really happy to secure our Three AA Rosettes for a second year. We want Tassili to be known as one of the best restaurants in Jersey; this recognition is a testament to our goal. For all of our menus, but in particular our new Jèrriais menu, we carefully choose the best combination of local fresh produce using ingredients such as Jersey crab and lobster from the Fresh Fish Company, Pork Belly from Classic Herd, and La Mare Apple Brandy in our Jersey Apple dessert.”

Tassili is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm and diners can choose from Jèrriais, Land and Sea or From the Garden (V) tasting menus starting at £67 per person. Alternatively a 3 course tasting menu is available at £45 per person.

What’s more, those looking for something special at lunchtime can now discover some of Nicolas and his teams’ wonderful dishes from Grand Jersey’s new lunch menu served in the Champagne Lounge from 12pm -2pm.
