Wilfried Romain, chef at LAVA in Paris, is organizing two dinners that are sure to attract the attention of cheese and travel enthusiasts alike. Here are all the details.
Mathilde Bourge
To get the year 2025 off to a good start, chef Wilfried Romain invites you to experience two exceptional evenings at his LAVA restaurant, in the heart of Paris's 5ᵉ arrondissement. An opportunity to discover or rediscover the inventive, daring cuisine that has earned this establishment its two Gault&Millau toques. On the program: a unique culinary immersion, with two themes that promise to delight gourmets.
Cheesy Winter evening
Cheese lovers, this is the evening for you! Wilfried Romain joins forces with the famous COW cheese dairy for a gastronomic experience centered on cheese in all its forms. The five-course menu will showcase this exceptional product in original, refined creations. Each dish will reveal a different facet of cheese, exploring textures, flavors and unexpected combinations.
To enhance this gourmet adventure, carefully selected food and liquid pairings will be offered on site. Let yourself be surprised by this celebration of cheese, in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
The Volcanic Dinner, a spectacular first anniversary
To celebrate LAVA's first year, chef Wilfried Romain revisits a concept that had already won over haute gastronomie fans last October: the Volcanic Dinner. Inspired by his passion for volcanoes, this seven-course menu takes guests on a culinary journey around seven iconic volcanoes from around the world.
Each dish tells the story of a volcano, featuring flavors, techniques or ingredients typical of the regions concerned. This menu is accompanied by a 100% volcanic wine pairing, carefully selected to enrich each dish and transport your taste buds even further.
Whether you're a cheese lover or curious to explore volcanic horizons, these evenings promise to be moments of sharing and gustatory wonder. Remember to book early, as places are likely to go as fast as molten lava!

Lava, 9 rue de la Montagne Sainte-Geneviève, 75005 Paris
