Mayfair restaurant launches London’s first Michelin-starred breakfast tasting menu

The Staff Canteen

A Michelin-starred London restaurant has launched what it describes as the capital’s first breakfast tasting menu, bringing fine dining structure and technique to the earliest service of the day.

about yannick

Chef Yannick Alleno runs 21 restaurants, across France, Monaco, Morocco, Dubai, Seoul and London, which share 17 Michelin stars between them.

Yannick opened his debut London restaurant, Pavyllon at the Four Seasons Hotel Park Lane in 2023, gaining his Michelin star for the London restaurant in the 2024 Michelin Guide.

From a young age, Yannick was immersed in the bistro run by his parents, and it was his grandmother who taught him to cook. By age eight, he'd set his sights on becoming a chef.  Embracing the culinary heritage handed down by Auguste Escoffier, Yannick takes the fundamentals and transforms them to create his own unique interpretation.

Five courses

Pavyllon London, the Michelin-starred restaurant by chef Yannick Alléno at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, introduced the five-course breakfast tasting menu this month. The menu is available every weekend, served from 6.30am on Saturdays and 7am on Sundays, running until 10.30am.

While tasting menus have become synonymous with evening service, Pavyllon’s new offering applies the same level of detail, progression and restraint to breakfast, positioning the meal firmly as breakfast rather than an extended brunch format.

A structured approach to breakfast

The experience begins with a bespoke ‘amuse-juice’, followed by a seasonal bakery creation from executive pastry chef Francesco Mannino. From there, guests move into the savoury and sweet heart of the menu, with a choice of chia pudding with mango or granola with berries, before selecting a main breakfast dish.

Options include eggs royale, with an optional caviar supplement, or a rotating chef’s special, which may feature dishes such as Turkish eggs or tiramisu pancakes, depending on the week.

The final course brings the menu to a close with French toast served with caramelised hazelnuts and whipped cream, before guests are offered a parting gift of Les Chocolats de Yannick Alléno, described by the restaurant as a gastronomic chocolate made using birch bark extract.

Vegetarian and vegan diners are also catered for across the menu.

Elevating the morning service

Priced at £70 per person, the breakfast tasting menu includes tea or coffee. Guests can also opt for a non-alcoholic drinks pairing, featuring teas, juices and mocktails, for an additional £20.

The launch reflects a broader trend among high-end restaurants exploring how classical fine dining techniques can be adapted to different moments of the day, without diluting standards or experience. At Pavyllon, that philosophy extends to breakfast, traditionally a more relaxed service, but here treated with the same precision and intent as dinner.

Pavyllon London holds one Michelin star and is the London outpost of Yannick Alléno’s Pavyllon concept, which blends French technique with a more relaxed, contemporary service style.

The breakfast tasting menu is available to book now, offering diners a rare opportunity to experience Michelin-starred cooking at the very start of the day, without waiting for lunch or dinner service.
