The charity dinner will bring Yannick Alleno and six other chefs, all alumni from the famed French restaurant Le Meurice, together for the first time in 18 years
The one-night-only charity event, which begins with a cocktail reception and auction followed by the chef collaboration dinner at Écriture, will take place on Thursday, March 23 in Hong Kong.
At Écriture, renowned chef Yannick Alleno of Pavillon Ledoyen, L’Abysse and Le 1947 will reunite with chefs Maxime Gilbert of Écriture and Julien Tongourian of L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon in Hong Kong, along with chefs Yoric Tieche of Le Cap at Four Seasons Hotel Cap-Farrat; Cyril Bonnard and Marie Wucher (pastry chef) of Le Parc Hotel Obernai; and Nicolas Beaumann of Maison Rostang for the first time since working together at the famed Parisian restaurant Le Meurice some 18 years ago.
All proceeds from the dinner, and other events, will go towards the Antoine Alléno Association, a charity launched by Alleno as a tribute to his son Antoine who tragically passed at age 24 in 2022. The association works to help young victims of violence and offers them, as well as their families, the moral, psychological and financial support they may need.
The dinner menu features starters created by Alleno, alongside dishes by the other six chefs. It comes with a wine pairing featuring Dom Perignon P2, Moet Vintage, Chateau Yquem, Benoit Ente Puligny-Montrachet and Iwa sake, among other distinguished bottles.
Prior to dinner, a cocktail reception with pours of Dom Perignon and Hennessy Paradis cocktails will take place at Over the Influence Gallery on Wyndham Street as guests view rare and exclusive pieces for auction from Louis Vuitton, Hublot, Dior, Dom Perignon, and more.
