Pavyllon London, the Mayfair restaurant from French chef Yannick Alléno at Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, has announced its festive programme. It runs from a five-course Christmas Eve dinner to a six-course New Year’s Eve dinner with live music. On New Year’s Day the restaurant’s Breakfast Tasting Menu will be served at both breakfast and lunch for one day only.
The restaurant says the menus have been inspired by the journeys, connections and shared moments that have shaped the hotel for more than five decades. They are overseen by Alléno, described in the release as the world’s most Michelin-decorated chef, working alongside Executive Chef Benjamin Ferra y Castell.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day
The Christmas Eve dinner is five courses. It features marinated red mullet with shiso dressing and Chef Yannick’s roasted Devon duck magret with green pepper sauce. Dessert is a quince tarte Tatin. It costs £210pp, with an optional wine pairing at £145pp, and is served from 6pm to 10pm.
On Christmas Day, lunch and dinner follow a six-course menu that includes a glass of Champagne. Dishes include a steamed Comté cheese soufflé with celeriac, yellow wine and black truffle, and a beef Rossini with seared foie gras and winter truffle. To finish there is a Montblanc with blackcurrant, vanilla Tahiti marbled ice cream and mascarpone Chantilly. The menu is £360pp, with an optional wine pairing at £175pp, and a children’s menu is available at £120pp. Lunch runs from 12:00pm to 2:45pm for external guests or 12:00pm to 3:00pm for hotel guests, with dinner from 6pm to 10pm.
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day
The six-course New Year’s Eve dinner features hamachi carpaccio with citrus dressing and king crab glazed with Andean sage cream and kombu broth. The main course is Japanese Wagyu beef Stroganoff, followed by Alléno’s signature coffee and Araguani 70% parfait. The evening includes live music and costs £395pp, with an optional wine pairing at £285pp. It is available from 6pm to 10:30pm.
On New Year’s Day, the Breakfast Tasting Menu will be served at the counter for breakfast and, for that day only, for lunch. It comprises five breakfast courses with an optional drinks pairing and costs £99pp. It is available from 8am to 10am and from 12pm to 2:15pm.
