Hélène Darroze also heads the kitchens at La Grande Brasserie, where she blends French tradition with Moroccan splendour. From table-side theatrics such as meat carving and flambéing to an ice-cream trolley, the restaurant’s rituals are reminiscent of Parisian brasseries and highlight the chef’s luxurious cuisine, inspired by her Basque roots and local produce. On the menu, guests can savour delicate hors d’oeuvres, hearty casseroles, the finest grilled meat and fish, and a gourmet chicken menu on Sundays. Already a classic!
