A modern take on the last meal that first class passengers aboard the fated Titanic ate was served to guests at Abu Dhabi's Shangri-La restaurant, the Bord Eau, on Thursday 14th April, exactly 104 years after the disaster.
Head chef at Bord Eau Mansour Memarian acknowledged that recreating a century-old meal may not appeal to all, but he tried offer the menu a modern twist. Memarian explained, "It is not something [that] every chef wants create, or to recreate, the menu of Titanic. But it is a challenge to change the dishes, the way they were represented, into the modern way, into a lighter, more appealing way for this time, for our current time."
The Shangri-La's take on the menu cost Dh406 per head ($110.49/€98.12), which, while extravagant, is not a scratch on the price tag for the original meal. First class Titanic passengers forked out an estimated equivalent of $124,000 for this menu that, for so many on board, would be their last.
