Stars & End of the show
Like every year since 1977, legendary restaurant Fouquet’s Paris will be hosting the greatest names of the French Cinema on February 24th, during the annual gala dinner held after the 42nd César ceremony, before shutting down temporarily for renovation.
Official partner of the César ceremony, French equivalent of the Oscar, restaurant Fouquet’s Paris will be hosting nearly 740 hand-picked guests during the traditional annual gala dinner following the 42nd César ceremony. As guest of honor, actor George Clooney is also expected on the red carpet.
In the kitchens, the menu is designed in collaboration with renowned Chef Pierre Gagnaire.
“The menu is designed like a movie, and must be telling a story; a story that provides delights, and a few emotions. The traditional Foie Gras is restyled with unusual savors and textures. The lobster is combined with Paris mushrooms and the onions of Roscoff. The César, feels like a celebration and the sun that everybody is craving for” develops Chef Gagnaire.
The menu of that evening:
Duck Foie Gras ballotine
Dry figs marbré
Red beet marmelade Apple sauce / Artichoke brioche
