Yannick Alléno & Raymond Blanc to host exclusive dinner

The Staff Canteen

Two of the world’s most revered chefs are set to collaborate for an extraordinary evening of modern French dining.

Yannick Alléno, one of the world’s most decorated Michelin-starred chefs with 15 Michelin stars, will join forces with Raymond Blanc OBE, the visionary Chef Patron of the two Michelin-starred Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons.

Taking place on Wednesday, April 16, the exclusive dining experience will be hosted at Pavyllon London at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane.

The event is part of Pavyllon London’s Counter-Culture series, where Yannick and head chef Benjamin Ferra Y Castell invite some of the UK’s top culinary talents for an unforgettable dining experience.

Each dish highlights the chefs’ signature styles, from Alléno’s mastery of sauces through extraction and techniques to Blanc’s dedication to seasonality and purity of ingredients.

Together, they will craft a six-course menu that seamlessly blends their innovative

techniques and deep respect for French culinary heritage.
