PARIS-HELSINKI: A GASTRONOMIC JOURNEY OF EXCEPTION
Helena Puolakka & Yannick Franques: A Four-Handed Culinary Symphony at La Tour d’Argent
Paris, the eternal capital of haute cuisine, is set to host an extraordinary culinary exchange as Helena Puolakka, the esteemed Cheffe of Savoy Helsinki, joins forces with Yannick Franques, Meilleur Ouvrier de France, for a quatre-mains that promises to be nothing short of a gastronomic masterpiece.
On March 7 and 8, as part of La Tour en Balade, a series of epicurean voyages initiated in 2022, La Tour d’Argent will become the stage for a refined symphony of French and Finnish flavors. Over two exclusive lunches and two intimate dinners, guests will witness the confluence of two culinary heritages—each deeply rooted in tradition yet invigorated with contemporary artistry.
A Harmonious Fusion of Two Culinary Identities
This collaboration is more than an exchange of techniques—it is a dialogue between two worlds, each celebrating the integrity of its own terroir. Helena Puolakka, a maestro of modern Nordic gastronomy, brings her delicate yet bold approach, where purity of ingredients and seasonality reign supreme. Yannick Franques, an artisan of French refinement, infuses his craft with precision, history, and a touch of avant-garde finesse. Together, they orchestrate an unparalleled tasting experience—a poetic ballet of land and sea, smoke and brine, depth and lightness.
As André Terrail, the visionary proprietor of La Tour d’Argent, eloquently states:
“This exceptional moment is a beautiful encounter between Finnish and French cuisine, each paying tribute to its deep heritage and finest ingredients in an exquisitely modern way.”
An Invitation to Indulge in the Unforgettable
With only four seatings available, this exclusive rendezvous is a rare opportunity to indulge in a sensorial journey unlike any other. From the frost-kissed purity of Nordic waters to the sun-drenched terroirs of France, each dish will tell a story, each flavor a note in a grand gastronomic composition.
Reserve Your Seat at the Table of Excellence
