FOUR-HANDS LUNCH WITH CHEF YANNICK ALLÉNO
Joining Raymond Blanc for this extraordinary, one-off lunch is fellow Michelin starred French chef Yannick Alléno. The two globally acclaimed compatriots come together to create an epicurean adventure to remember, combining their deep respect for French culinary heritage with their mastery of techniques.
Raymond is honoured to welcome Yannick, one of the world’s finest chefs, who holds no less than 16 Michelin stars across his 17 global restaurants spanning Paris, London, Dubai, Monaco, Seoul, and more. Over four highly creative decades, he has taken the essence of classic French cuisine, particularly that of Auguste Escoffier, and reinvented it into Modern French gastronomy.
Chef Alléno opened his debut UK restaurant, Pavyllon, within the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane in August 2023 and was awarded a Michelin star just six months later. Driven by relentless curiosity from an early age, he is the ideal cooking partner for Raymond Blanc, whose own passion for terroir, ingredients and techniques perfectly matches Yannick’s.

It also marks “le quatorze juillet” 1789, the momentous day when the people of France began their fight for freedom. Join us in this spirited alfresco celebration brimming with live music, tempting new foods and local creativity in the heart of our fragrant gardens
