“I have a weakness for old ladies,” says chef Yannick Alléno, explaining why he agreed to create the new menu for Prunier, the Parisian caviar-and-seafood house that opened in 1924. Located a few steps away from the Arc de Triomphe, its Art Deco façade remains a neighborhood landmark nearly 100 years later.
Previously owned by the late Pierre Bergé, founder of the Yves Saint Laurent fashion house (alongside its namesake designer), Prunier enjoyed a long run as one of the most glamorous restaurants in the world. In October, it reopened under new owners, the French investment group Olma Luxury Holdings.
