A Michelin-starred menu at competitive prices to debunk the myth of endless gourmet dinners: that's the idea of Yannick Alléno, who has introduced the "€65 for 55 minutes" formula at his London venue.

The news

Time is money. But so is food. Served in an elegant room with shades of blue, the tasting offering titled "Lunch in 55'" from the Pavyllon London restaurant marks a new timeline in the culinary storyline: five courses for £55.50 (approximately €65), if you finish the meal in just 55 minutes. This is the response of the renowned chef Yannick Alléno - as reported by Luxury London - to London's long-awaited request for an ambitious and punctual Michelin-starred menu, even in terms of consumption pace.

Yannick Alléno opened Pavyllon London, in the heart of the Four Seasons on Park Lane, just six months ago, and the restaurant has already earned a Michelin star, further solidifying the chef's international reputation, with 16 scattered macarons in his 17 restaurants worldwide. This opening marks Alléno's debut in the vibrant British capital.

Pavyllon London is thus a tribute to the fusion of modern French cuisine and English gastronomic innovation. The meticulously curated menu includes dishes such as scallops confit with pilaf rice, ravioli with soft egg yolk, and seared venison fillet with Port jus. His decision to open a restaurant in London stems from his passion for the culinary ferment of the city, so Pavyllon London, inspired by its Parisian namesake, stands out for its large central counter and iconic dishes reinterpreted with local ingredients.

The experience unfolds throughout the day, from breakfast to dinner, including brunch and lunch. Guests can choose from various options, such as the "Pavyllon Menu" (six courses for £148, a culinary journey featuring delicacies like roast duck breast with sweet daikon pickles and comté cheese soufflé), or the popular afternoon tea, as well as pre-dinner drinks or post-dinner cocktails at Bar Antoine, where guests can enjoy innovative cocktails based on modern extraction techniques. However, there was a need for a more streamlined lunch option; hence, the idea of limiting the timeframe to also facilitate guest turnover and offer them a significantly lower price than the average.

Naturally, Alléno never takes the recognition of Michelin stars lightly. Despite his extensive experience, he admits that each new star is a challenge, requiring continuous innovation and attention to detail. His ambition is to create a refined neighborhood restaurant in Mayfair that welcomes everyone, offering a Michelin-starred menu at affordable prices to attract local clientele and make them feel at home.
