Six Michelin-starred chef Hélène Darroze will be bringing her distinctive brand of French cuisine – demonstrated at her restaurants in London’s The Connaught, her own restaurant in Paris and at Provence’s Villa La Coste – to Elia restaurant on 22 July.
She will join three-Michelin-starred chef Christian Le Squer, who takes the reins the week after with his modern take on traditional French delicacies. Southern France is also explored by Stephanie Le Quellec, who will be bringing a playfulness to luxury dining at Water restaurant with a new menu, while Spanish chef Javier Torres interprets Catalonian heritage at Elia restaurant.
