On the Menu at Pavyllon London

The menu at Pavyllon will be ever-changing, a testament to Chef Yannick's creative food philosophy that every great classic is avant-garde. While dishes will be rooted in French gastronomy and techniques, and share influence with Pavyllon Paris, Chef Yannick will draw inspiration from seasonal British produce to create a truly modern dining experience.

The menus will also reflect a passionate belief of Yannick's that chefs have a responsibility to look after the good health of their guests. He reforms classical approaches by reducing the amount of sugar, fat, and salt in his dishes without compromising flavour or any sense of indulgence. Underpinning his philosophy of modern French cuisine are multiple pillars, another being the importance of sauce, and Extraction, a technique he developed in 2013, as well as fermentation.

This is best represented in dishes found in Pavyllon Paris such as: perfect egg, Paris ham jelly, Isigny cream and Maison Prunier caviar and vegetable raviolis with spring extraction broth and Perfumed oils as well as Chef Yannick's interpretation of the French classic - cheese soufflé, steamed with Comté and celery extraction. For the main affair, guests can expect aiguillette of sea bass with a celery extraction sauce and Pavyllon's surf and turf, blue lobster and wagyu beef mille-feuille choron sauce beaten with toasted sesame oil.

The wine offering has been equally well considered with the help of superstar sommelier Vincent Javaux, and will be vast yet discerning, including prestigious references from some of the world's best vineyards alongside family-owned chateaus. There will also be a significant selection of wines available by the glass.
