Pavyllon London is the latest restaurant from the prolific French-born Yannick Alléno, the superstar chef who’s been awarded an impressive 15 stars across 17 restaurants in Paris, Courchevel, Monaco, Dubai, and Seoul. That puts Alléno on a very short, elite list of Michelin’s most-awarded chefs comprised of himself, Joël Robuchon, Alain Ducasse, Gordon Ramsay, Pierre Gagnaire, and Martín Berasategui.
In fact, Chef Alléno’s trio of restaurants in Pavillon Ledoyen hold six stars (three at Alléno Paris, two at L’Abysse and one at Pavyllon), making it the most star-rated independent restaurant destination in the world.
At Pavyllon London, which opened in July, Chef Yannick delivers his signature refined French fare, with British influences like local and regional produce. The food, wine, and cocktail menus also feature specialty ingredients from time-honored purveyors like cheese from Neal’s Yard Dairy and smoked salmon from H. Forman & Son in London, and sparkling wines from Gusbourne vineyards in Kent.
"Pavyllon London is an embodiment of my lifelong dream to redefine French dining," says Alléno. "It combines my family's bistro-running legacy with my passion for culinary innovation. At Pavyllon London, we look forward to welcoming our guests into the heart of the action, creating interactive, less formal dining, centered around countertop seating and simply great food.”
Pavyllon London’s Cuisine
Pavyllon London serves breakfast, lunch, dinner, and high tea daily.
A 3-course lunch menu at Pavyllon London might include crispy prawns set atop miso beurre blanc and trout roe, red mullet and clams with chermoula and chorizo butter, and a perfect baked peach baked in arlette crust with housemade red berry sorbet, topped with crunchy crystallized mint. The fine dining lunch set is designed to be eaten in just 55 minutes, meaning it’s possible to work in a decadent mid-day meal into an otherwise-ordinary work day.
At dinner, diners can opt for à la carte options and kick off their meal with a duo of seabass carpaccio and beef tartare with puffed quinoa and crispy shallot to start, or a comté souffle with watercress coulis and eel butter. Mains include a langoustine tart with caviar and beurre blanc, and veal cordon bleu with béchamel. Inventive desserts like roasted fig and curry ice cream with fig leaf cream, cardamom pastry crisp, and flambéed figs with Marsala.
Highlights of the dinner tasting menus include warm potatoes glazed with an electric green lovage mayonnaise, a reinvented prawn cocktail with fennel, dill, trout roe, and parmesan, lamb chops with shiso coulis and anchoïade, and beef filet with confit pears and flambéed Cognac.
At high tea, tiers of traditional fingers sandwiches are served with

History feels very much alive in the art, architecture and crackling atmosphere of the UK’s capital. From the Tower of London and contemporary Sky Garden to tales of the Houses of Parliament’s Gunpowder Plot and Harry Potter filming locations — there are enough famous, infamous and fantastical attractions in London to keep kids entertained for weeks. And many of the city’s most celebrated names can be explored through a raft of innovative tours and experiences aimed squarely at families.
“Gastronomy or conservation working alone doesn’t make sense any more. But these two working together: this is the way.” So says Rodrigo Pacheco, who, over the past decade, working with his wife and business partner, Dayra Reyes, has transformed several deteriorated parcels of land on the rural coast of Ecuador’s Manabí province into thriving habitats for wildlife and produce such as cocoa, soursop and yucca. These BCBs (Bosques Comestibles Biodiversos, which translates as ‘biodiverse, edible forests’) supply their 10-year-old restaurant, Bocavaldivia, and its neighbouring eco-hotel, Tanusas, with around 150 species of fruit, vegetable and herb.
As Executive Chef and Owner of Eleven Madison Park Chef Daniel Humm has received every accolade possible in the culinary world, from three Michelin stars to being named ‘Best Restaurant in the World.’ But when it came time to reopen after the pandemic he had a much different vision for the kind of cooking he wanted to do. I spoke with Chef Humm about the vision behind his switch to an all plant-based menu, his new book ‘ Eat More Plants ’ and why you better have a few Wimbledon titles under your belt before you barge into his kitchen.
