It is close to the Bon Marché, in the posh neighbourhoods of the capital that Hélène Darroze, a famous personality in the world of grande cuisine, invites you to discover her unique world, very popular with the Parisian crowd.
Once you have passed the sober and elegant façade of the building, decorated with red flowers along a pattern imagined by Christian Tortu, you will discover the true splendour of the place. First there is a magnificent «Gourmande cupboard», giving the tone from the Gascogne region Hélène seems so close to, but apart from that the atmosphere is very Paris. All gourmets will be delighted in this establishment that is divided in two: Hélène’s salon, a pretty cocoon with a subdued and cosy atmosphere inspiring laziness and gourmet experiences on the one hand, and on the other Hélène’s dining room, an elegant and subdued room, with clear colours and warm ones, a beautiful wooden floor, and delicate daylight. The place simply breathes of luxury, a kind of luxury where a lady Chef has put her touch of friendliness and hospitality, a rather nice contrast to Parisian elite.Hélène’s cuisine is a poem in itself. She has got two stars in the Michelin guide and this young Chef will not abandon her gourmet principles: a cuisine of the heart. She got her first inspirations from her grand-mothers, who taught her to love simple products, and then from her masters, Alain Ducasse among others. Due to family tradition, she was almost born into the cuisine world, and Hélène now knows how to create new things with her heritage from the Gascogne region in the background. Her intuition and creativity take her on the road of the craziest compositions! So let yourself be tempted by the generous dishes that are also delicate, refined, full of flavours and of instinct as well. In a rather masculine world, Hélène has chosen a sensitive kind of cuisine, where pure flavour and sincerity are the most important elements.«To cook is to live, and to live is to cook». This famous quote gives you a clear idea of the general tone in Hélène Darroze’s cuisine world. It is a very special world, where pleasures are mixed. ideal gourmet was certainly charmed by this young Chef’s talent, who will continue to surprise and enchant us, and we offer you a discovery of her cuisine, all delicate and refined.
