To get summer off to a good start, here's the 8-toque dinner to make
If you're a lover of fine dining, you're in for a treat on June 27, 2024. Chef Glenn Viel will join forces with chef Louis-Philippe Vigilant for an evening at the Relais Bernard Loiseau's 4-toque restaurant.
The summer season is off to a flying start at Relais & Châteaux Bernard Loiseau (4 toques). The establishment, now run by Louis-Philippe Vigilant, is organizing an evening in collaboration with the chef of L'Oustau de Baumanière (4 toques), Glenn Viel: "It's a moment of pure sharing and pure happiness between friends," confides the Relais Bernard Loiseau chef.
A collaboration that signals the start of the summer season
The idea of a four-handed menu was born at the 40th anniversary of Patrick Bertron, former chef at Saulieu. The two chefs are also no strangers to each other: "I was at L'Oustau de Baumanière for two years, but also in Courchevel, where he (Glenn Viel) worked in another establishment in the resort. That' s where we had the opportunity to meet, during moments between chefs after our shifts," recounts Louis-Philippe Vigilant.
On the culinary front, epicureans at La Côte d'Or will discover"a blend of two worlds", all under the banner of the start of summer. The chefs have each taken charge of a starter and a main course. These include the "calalard", favouille juice and milky emulsion, as well as the beef "tracers of a sandwich" from the famous Top Chef jury. The Loiseau family's protégé, meanwhile, offers a summer garden tomato with cabrache cream, elderflower seed water and herb sorbet. This dish is his signature creation, thanks in part to the cabrache, a cheese made by Didier Loison, a farm producer in Saulieu.

To finish the meal, the task was entrusted to Brandon Dehan. The pastry chef, who trained in Saulieu with the Bernard Loiseau group and is now a member of the L'Oustau de Baumanière team (4 toques), nicely symbolizes the meeting of these two houses. For the occasion, he will be creating the "botanique 30+1" dessert, "a dessert based around herbs and freshness", says Louis-Philippe Vigilant.
On June 27, 2024, Glenn Viel will be accompanied by five members of his team, to ensure the evening's success in the company of the Burgundian restaurant's teams. For the curious, there are still a few places left to discover this eight-step menu, starting at 380 euros per person excluding drinks.

With its house perched on a building, Maison Heler is unlike any other hotel. Conceived as an "inhabitable, surrealist and literary work of art", this new address intrigues as much as it fascinates. Located in the Architecture district, just a stone's throw from the Centre Pompidou, it is part of the development of the area supported by Hilton.

Rose's Bar extends the experience, in a relaxed atmosphere, with cocktails featuring local and floral flavors. upstairs, La Maison de Manfred has a more subdued feel, with wood and leather furnishings, warm colors, a family dining room and panoramic views over Metz.
