Invites cost a cool €1800 and can be purchased at www.parisgala.com for an evening that starts with cocktail hour and a silent auction and finishes with a carefully curated dinner with wine pairing.
Diners will get the chance to bid on unusual items like fine tuning their cooking skills alongside chef Yannick Alléno (starting at 2000 euros) to honing their tasting skills on a whisky tour of Scotland (starting at 1000 euros) before tucking into the ensuing dinner. The menu includes several courses with dishes like langoustine and caviar paired with Krug champagne and wines from Petrus, Cheval Blanc, and Yquem, among others.
Previous editions of the series of dinners from Gastromotiva Great Food for a Better World took place in New York at Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad Bar, and in São Paulo with a menu designed by Michelin Star chefs Quique Dacosta, Virgílio Martinez, Renzo Garibaldi, and Mitsuharu Tsumura.
