Amuse-Bouche

AMUSE- BOUCHE

Amuse-bouche means a small, savory portion of food served before a meal, typically without charge at restaurants

Amuse-bouche, meaning literally “amuse mouth” in French, is the term for a small savoury item of food served as a single bite-sized hors d'oeuvre before a meal. Amuse-bouche came to the fore during the Nouvelle Cuisine movement of the 1980s.

 Served before the starter, they are more than just an opportunity for chefs to show off their skills. They are an extra, a bonus, a surprise, a 'welcome' on a plate, something unexpected and a chance to wow. More practically, they offer your hungry wedding guests something to nibble on the second they sit down. Never underestimate the void between everyone being asked to take their seats and them all being seated ready to receive the happy couple! Amuse-bouche offer instant impact and tempting colour to the tables, encouraging your guests to take their seats quickly and begin to enjoy the feast.
