Moët in Paris by Allénos, an ephemeral spotlight

Christian Marienval | 6/4/24, 2:25 PM

A pedestrian passageway and courtyard, a large tree-lined terrace, a restaurant on the first floor and a bar on the second floor to enjoy a drink, watch the Olympic events on a giant screen... La maison champenoise is settling in for the summer in Paris, in the heart of the 7ᵉ arrondissement.

The Moët & Chandon champagne house has teamed up with chef Yannick Alléno to create an ephemeral venue in place of the Burger Père et Fils restaurant in the heart of Beaupassage, which the chef opened with his son Antoine in 2021. Both a restaurant and a bar, it opened its doors on June 1for approximately three months. Approximately, because it will close on the day of the declaration of the end of the Champagne harvest, in early autumn.

Stylist and couturier Charles de Vimorin designed the lively, colorful and floral decor. Graffiti, screen-printed plates, printed cushions, red, black, yellow, a dash of blue... Here, for those with an alert eye: the imperial crown, emblem of the house, switched and repainted. As usual, the designer was able to inject just the right amount of humor into a place that could have seemed a little too rigid. As for the chef (5 toques), he has imagined a menu in keeping with the Moët & Chandon bottles: simple dishes, but technical enough to give the impression of a gastro touch, and accessible enough to satisfy the Parisians and tourists who will be invading Paris this summer. Antoine's burger (who passed away in May 2022) will be featured. As for the wine list, it will exclusively feature the company's own champagnes, as well as wines and spirits from other LVMH properties.)

The aim is not only to promote the company's wines, but also to create a venue that is as unifying as it is festive, with guest DJs and a program of surprises. Don't miss the aperitif at 5:43 p.m. sharp (the house was founded in 1743).

20 tables in the countryside

What a long winter it's been! Even if we all enjoy dining out in a cosy atmosphere, sometimes with a roaring fire to warm us up, we have to admit that we've all been waiting for spring. To celebrate the return of this season, synonymous with renewal both in the now verdant countryside and in our finally colorful plates, there's nothing like a selection of 20 tables in the countryside. On the banks of a stream, in the heart of a valley, on a flower-filled terrace, on a square in the shade of a plane tree or on the edge of a forest. enjoy the charms of these "warmly" recommended addresses. Auberge de la Grive, Aisne Nicolas and Cécilia Gautier, whom we've been following for a long time (Nicolas also has the distinction of having twice been elected Jeune Talent, in 2010 when he worked at l'Ardoise, in Ognes, then three years later when he was at the helm of Château d'Esclimont), returned to the heart of Picardy in the summer of 2023. They sold their two other restaurants, Nature and Bistrot RG, in the North of France, to create, in a magnificent country house they fell in love with (and which they now occupy), the Bistrot RG.the two of them work in pairs, facing a dozen or so customers arranged in a U-shape around a central island where the couple are busy. The menus are imposed, of course, but that's the only slight complaint the Gautiers might have. Even if the atmosphere can sometimes take a little time to warm up (it's not always easy to get along with table-mates you haven't chosen), the dishes that follow one another soon cheer up even the sorriest of spirits. The 3 toques are already very close, for the very fine char from Voulpaix lightly confit, lovage and nasturtium, the soft-steamed monkfish (wonderful flesh) with beurre blanc and girolles from Saint-Gobain and the gourmet blonde from Caillouël roasted over the embers. As you can see, Nicolas Gautier still loves working with local produce (and he talks about it with passion), and he doesn't neglect the desserts, which are very elaborate and personalized. The cellar is quite short, but very well focused. Where? 5, rue du Logis, 02300 Trosly-Loire See the Gault&Millau review ofAuberge de la Grive www.aubergedelagrive.com

Does the order in which the wines are tasted matter?

Is it a good idea to drink red before white? Yes, in some cases. At the table, the crescendo of tasting can stray from the beaten path more easily than you might think.
