This week, we’re getting back into the rhythm gently, we’re taking the train, we’re taking our chance, we’re dining on the terrace, we’re baking, we’re thinking we’re a star… That’s the Gourmet Agenda for August 31, in short!
We slowly get back into rhythm
Tea time at the Ritz Paris
Olivier Lainé, new pastry chef at the Ritz Paris, unveils his tea time inspired by the French lunch. Composed of three savory creations, followed by delicate sweets, we taste a salmon tartlet, a lobster roll, a roasted seasonal vegetable sauce accompanied by soft focaccia, then a buckwheat baba, kiwi and fresh herbs, a sunflower flower and an all-chocolate charlotte. The delights don’t stop there, as each guest leaves with a creation to take home to enjoy at home.

In Pertuis (84), on the banks of the Durance, Christophe Pulizzi, chef of L’Olivier, offers signature cuisine that is both instinctive and precise, rooted in its Sicilian roots and driven by a contemporary reading of the Provençal terroir. The “À Contre-Courant” menu, renewed every two weeks and offered blind, offers a true sensory experience where each plate tells an emotion.
