For his 10th anniversary at the Pavillon Ledoyen, Yannick Alléno bets on a historic dinner

Mathieu Dubus | 5/15/24, 10:32 AM

On May 29, 2024, a unique evening will be held to celebrate the 10ᵉ anniversary of the Alléno Paris restaurant. The dinner will be marked by the presence of a famous history buff, who will come to preside over the event.

Take part in Secrets d'Histoire, while enjoying a menu filled with revisited period dishes - that's the challenge taken up by 24-toque chef Yannick Alléno. The evening will take place in the listed Alléno Paris restaurant (5 toques) at the Pavillon Ledoyen. It will be punctuated by a multitude of selected anecdotes about the bicentennial house in the Champs-Élysées gardens. All dictated by the voice of the famous animator and raconteur Stéphane Bern, who has agreed to play the game out of friendship. A surprising alliance, but not without meaning, given Bern's love of French heritage.

Between tradition and modernity

Whether in Paris, Courchevel, Monte-Carlo, London or Dubai, the chef is recognized internationally by his peers for the modernity of his cuisine and his rare work as a saucier. That's why, for this anniversary dinner, Yannick Alléno wanted to combine tradition and modernity. For the occasion, he created a five-part menu in which he revisited the great classics of French gastronomy. These include "Jolies demoiselles de Guilvinec" langoustines, their historic Breton appellation, poached "à la nage" with a meadow green sauce, and "Chateaubriand de bœuf" in a wagyu version, accompanied by a Solférino sauce and pommes allumettes.

These dishes, composed of exceptional products, will also be accompanied by a wine and food pairing. Here too, chef Yannick Alléno is playing the discovery card, with a Hungarian "Tokaji Aszu" wine to match the dessert of "savarin au rhum blanc, chantilly soyeuse au sucre galabé".
If you're interested in this unique dinner with "very limited" seating, here's some practical information:

Wine and food pairing menu: 850 euros

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.
