Yannick Alléno
Supervising Chef of Sushi L'Abysse Osaka Yannick Alléno
From an early age, Yannick Alléno was immersed in the bistro run by his parents, where he spent a large part of his time. From this bistro, he has retained the sense of sharing and conviviality, and this counter that invites dialogue.
Yannick Alléno has laid the foundations of a cuisine that has a real identity: Modern Cuisine. Inspired by Auguste Escoffier, he does not hesitate to take up the fundamentals and transform this heritage to bring out his personal interpretation. He brings back the honour of sauces, but this time conceived thanks to processes of extraction, fermentation and cryoconcentration, allowing him to bring out the quintessence of the flavours. He creates sauces as one creates perfumes, to link products together and make them interact.
In 2008, Yannick Alléno founded the Group that bears his name and expanded internationally. He federates around his quaternary vision: the Yannick Alléno Group is built as a talent gas pedal that shakes up the codes of gastronomy and service to anchor itself in its time, by carrying strong commitments, and thus give its customers not only an extraordinary plate but a memorable mark.
In 2014, Yannick Alléno took over the concession of the Pavillon Ledoyen in Paris and installed Alléno Paris which, only seven months after its opening, was awarded three stars in the Michelin Guide. He developed the “Conciergerie de Table,” a service that allows staff to prepare the arrival of each guest in a precise and personalized way, in order to develop a tailor-made experience for each of them.
Within the Pavillon Ledoyen, Yannick Alléno has designed two other restaurants: the sushi counter L'Abysse - two stars in 2020 - and the gastronomic counter Pavyllon - one star in 2020. In doing so, he has made the Pavillon Ledoyen the most starred independent establishment in the world.
In 2017, his restaurant Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc Courchevel was awarded a third star in the Michelin Guide, a supreme and historic distinction for the chef who now holds two three-star restaurants.
With a constant search for the right taste, Yannick Alléno is developing the Pavyllon concept in different regions: Paris, Monaco and London since June 2023.
In July 2024, he opened L'Abysse Monte-Carlo at the Hôtel Hermitage, blending the treasures of the Mediterranean with French and Japanese expertise.
With 16 restaurants and 15 Michelin stars, he is the second most Michelin-starred chef in the world.
