LPM Restaurant & Bar at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is introducing an exclusive dessert for Valentine’s Day, the Tarte Tropézienne à la Fleur d’Oranger. The limited edition dessert is LPM Restaurant & Bar’s contemporary take on one of the French Riviera’s most loved sweet delicacies, the Tarte Tropézienne, originally inspired by Brigitte Bardot.
Known for being loved and adored around the world, Brigitte Bardot famously lent her voice on the original version of ‘Je t’aime… moi non plus’ (French for ‘I love you… me neither’). The song, known now as one of the most iconic love songs of all time, was written by Serge Gainsbourg in 1967 for Brigitte Bardot herself, making her the ultimate symbol of devotion of the era.
Developed in the 1950’s, the Tarte Tropézienne quickly gained adoration after Brigitte Bardot discovered it whilst filming ‘And God Created Woman’ in St Tropez, where Bardot herself gave the dessert its name. Pastry chef Alexandre Mika’s original creation comprised of a delightfully light brioche sliced in half, with an orange blossom and vanilla creme filling, dotted with pearl sugar. Since then, the Tarte Tropézienne has become a symbol of the city and one of the most celebrated sweet treats in the Riviera and beyond.
The song pairs beautifully with the Tarte Tropézienne à la Fleur d’Oranger on Valentine’s Day, creating a magical setting to be whisked away to St Tropez for an evening at LPM.
Available at LPM Restaurant & Bar globally from 14th – 18th February, the Tarte Tropézienne à la Fleur d’Oranger consists of a buttery Brioche filled with Orange Blossom Diplomat Cream, topped with a Craquelin and Pink Pralines.
LPM Restaurant & Bar’s unmatched dining experience offers a taste of the Côte d’Azur in the heart of Las Vegas, offering a fresh seasonal menu with signature dishes including Escargots de Bourgogne, Snails in Garlic Butter and Parsley, Crevettes Tiedes a L’Huile D’Olive, Warm Prawns with Olive Oil and Lemon Juice, alongside a refined selection of handcrafted cocktails including LPM’s famed Tomatini.
