The event will see Chef Nicolas Isnard, the visionary behind Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard’s contemporary French identity, join forces with Chef Charles Coulombeau, acclaimed for his modern, Japanese-influenced cuisine. The menu will take diners on a culinary voyage; from Scallop Carpaccio with coriander, mint, peanut, and lime, to Soya-Glazed Octopus with roasted cauliflower and Tom Kha sauce, and the indulgent “Sanchoku” Wagyu Beef Tenderloin with Japanese rice and spinach. The journey will conclude with exquisite desserts, including a passion fruit homage to “Yayoi,” paired with delicate Mignardises. Guests can also choose to elevate the experience with a carefully curated wine pairing.

Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard, under the direction of Chef Nicolas Isnard, is celebrated for combining fine French techniques with unexpected global influences, creating dining experiences that are as inventive as they are refined. Chef Charles Coulombeau is the chef-patron of La Maison dans le Parc in Nancy, France, a restaurant that has held one Michelin star since 2022, and also leads YOZORA in Metz, which was awarded its first Michelin star in 2025. Having honed his craft in some of France’s most prestigious kitchens, including the three-Michelin-starred Les Prés d’Eugénie and Lameloise, and spending time working in Japan, Coulombeau delivers cuisine that is modern, sophisticated, and accented with creative Asian flair. Supporting this collaboration is Bord Eau by Nicolas Isnard’s own Chef David Tavernier, whose career spans France, the UK, Egypt, and Lebanon. His extensive experience and mastery of French culinary traditions underpin the exceptional quality of every plate served at the restaurant. With its exceptional pairing of culinary artistry and refined hospitality, the Four Hands Dinner at Bord Eau promises not only a meal, but an evening of storytelling through flavour.
