Take-off / Food & Drink
Gather with friends and
family in the sunshine, choose
between sweet or savoury and
sit and watch the world go by
with Sunday brunch on the
newly-refreshed Terrace at the
Grand Café Fauchon. Located
in the heart of one of the most
prestigious areas of Paris, the
Terrace at the Grand Café
Fauchon overlooks the iconic
Place de la Madeleine, famous
for its high-fashion boutiques,
world-renowned restaurants
and cultural riches including
the famous neoclassical
Madeleine Church which gives
the square its name.
A Parisian institution,
the Grand Café Fauchon
celebrates the legacy
of founder Auguste
Fauchon, whose passionate
commitment to gastronomic
innovation, using and sourcing
high-quality French products,
defined Parisian cuisine.
Served every Sunday
between 12pm-4pm, the
delicious brunch offers guests
the chance to sample some
of the Grand Café Fauchon’s
most delicious treats, from
oysters to beautifully-crafted
patisserie.
Five-star hotel Château la Chenevière,
located between Bayeux and Port-en-
Bessin in Normandy, has relaunched its
second restaurant, Le Petit Jardin. The
eatery was previously only open for
lunch during the summer, as it only had a
few outdoor tables. Following extensive
refurbishments and an expansion of the
restaurant, Le Petit Jardin is now open for
lunch and dinner all year round.
This bistrot restaurant is located in a
magnificent glass house, which used to
be the old conservatory, in the château’s
garden. The interior features a pink
marble-top bar, rattan furniture, floral
fabrics and an abundance of plants. Le
Petit Jardin also has a spacious outdoor
terrace, which is surrounded by a
stunning, English-inspired garden, allowing
guests to enjoy the spectacular view
during the warm summer days.
The seasonal and local menu focuses
on vegetables without being entirely
vegetarian.
Head chef, Hugo Genty, favours local
produce either from their vegetable
garden or locally, from Normandy. Guests
are, of course, welcome to walk around
the garden before or after their meal.
Every Sunday, a special barbecue
set menu is served during lunch time.
The wine list focuses on natural and
biodynamic wines and the bar offers
seasonal cocktails with fresh herbs from
the garden.
New authentic Irish cocktail
bar Homeboy is now open
on Essex Road in London’s
Islington. The first bar from Irish
duo Aaron Wall and Ciarán
Smith, Homeboy pairs warm,
laid-back Irish hospitality with
delicious drinks and comfort
food. Designed to feel like a
living room, a mix of exposed
brick, painted features and
tiles have been utilised to
accentuate a cosy ‘at home’
vibe, whilst maintaining a
sense of contemporary design.
With a focus on celebrating
Irish producers, the cocktail
menu is composed of three
pillars: Irish Whiskey, where the
drinks showcase the versatility
that once saw Irish Whiskey
as the top-selling spirit in the
world; Contemporary, using
modern techniques to create
unashamedly-delicious drinks;
and Classics, paying homage
to some of the modern
classic cocktails of our time.
In addition, Irish beers and,
of course, Draught Guinness
are also served. Homeboy’s
simple food offering includes
sinful snacks such as loaded
fries and poutine (fries topped
with cheese curds, drowned
with piping hot gravy) as well
as comfort food using family
recipes. Da’s Irish Stew and
Ma’s Brown Bread use recipes
by Ciarán’s dad and Aaron’s
mum.
