Pavyllon London is welcoming world-class chef Yasunari Okazaki of L’Abysse for two-day pop-up this April – and you’re invited to the edible action
If you love rare fine dining occasions, it’s time to raise your chopsticks. The stars are aligning at Michelin-starred Pavyllon London by Yannick Alléno this April with an exclusive two-day pop-up from L’Abysse – Paris’ famed two-Michelin-starred sushi counter.
Taking place on Friday 26th and Saturday 27th April only, Chef Yannick Alléno – who founded L’Abysse – will invite his esteemed Paris establishment and master sushi chef Yasunari Okazaki to his London restaurant for an incredible one-of-a-kind Omakase dining experience.
The intimate sushi experience, which will set you back £390pp, will take place at the eight-seater bar counter in Pavyllon London’s chic private dining room.
Mirroring traditional sushi counters in Japan, guests can observe the culinary precision, skill and theatre of the masterful Chef, while enjoying some of the finest sushi in the world through the Japanese tradition of Omakase, which translates to “I’ll leave it up to you”.
Starting with a welcome aperitif in the beautiful Pavyllon London lounge, the multi-course Omakase experience will follow. Guests can devour signature L’Abysse dishes such as panko crust sea urchin with grapefruit; French sake kasu scallops tartare; expertly hand-shaped nigiri; and fire grilled langoustines with crispy seaweed, with each dish a testament to Chef Yasunari’s dedication to quality, flavour and creativity.
Having met during one of Chef Yannick Alléno’s 40+ trips to Japan, Alléno and Okazaki discovered a shared passion for the intricate mastery of exceptional sushi and together embarked to bring this impressive Japanese sushi expertise to France.
In 2018, Okazaki moved to France to lead Chef Yannick’s opening of L’Abysse in Pavillon Ledoyen (now the most Michelin star-rated independent establishment in the world) – combining the expert sushi master with Alléno’s pioneering sauces and extractions for a showstopping umami effect – and by 2020, L’Abysse had been awarded two Michelin-stars.
