The eagerly awaited launch of its Italian restaurant Ischia, in place of its Michelin-starred Le Quinzième (Paris 15th), is suspended from government authorization to reopen the restaurants.
But that does not prevent Cyril Lignac from continuing to project himself ... beyond our borders.
The ultra-popular Aveyron chef will thus inaugurate his first international address in the British capital.
The Bar des Prés London, which is also awaiting the green light from Downing Street (the month of May is mentioned), will open its doors in the heart of Mayfair.
A chic district, on the edge of Hyde Park, which should stick well to the Germanopratin concept of sushi and cocktails, combined with French classics.
A rereading of Italian cuisine
Cyril Lignac also signed with the InterContinental Amstel in Amsterdam (Netherlands) to take the reins of his restaurant on the river.
Created in 1867, and renovated in 1992, the luxury hotel owned by Katara Hospitality (Qatar) is one of the flagships of the Dutch hotel industry, and an emblematic building of the city.
The project, inspired by the chef's other addresses, should see the light of day in early 2022.
By then, the owner of Chardenoux (Paris 11th), Aux Prés, Bar des Prés, Dragon cocktail bar (6th) and six pastry shops and chocolate shops in the capital, will (we hope) be able to open Ischia, so named in a nod to the island of Neapolitan golf.
The chef will offer his reinterpretation of the rich transalpine gastronomy, from all regions.
The decoration of the place, with a cocktail bar, was entrusted to Studio KO.
