Hélène Darroze at the Connaught
For many years the restaurant at the Connaught has been one of London’s greatest gastronomic experiences. Now, Hélène Darroze, one of France’s most distinguished chefs, is at the helm of the Connaught’s kitchens and the Connaught’s love affair with gastronomy is entering a new, exciting phase.
Hélène currently holds two Michelin stars at her restaurant ‘Hélène Darroze’ on the Left Bank in Paris. The new restaurant in London, ‘Hélène Darroze at the Connaught’, like The Coburg Bar, has been designed by Parisian designer India Mahdavi.
Hélène is inspired by authentic regional and seasonal flavours, with roots in her native Landes region of South West France. With cooking in her DNA, she worked as Alain Ducasse’s right hand woman at the Louis XV restaurant in Monte Carlo and went on to win her first Michelin star in her own restaurant in 2001, followed by a second star in 2003.
Hélène now oversees all cuisine at the Connaught, including the Gallery, private dining and, when it reopens, the legendary Connaught Grill.
