The Idea
Distract the eater by imagining a dreamlike culinary experience.
The History
The "onirique" theme of the show ‘Maison et Objet’ of 2008 made me stage, a dinner of press putting the guests into an imaginary universe. The dinner guests discover by entering in the dining room a long white table set with… nothing ! They sit down, cautious. On this «horizontal screen ", projected images form a virtual table, then the tablecloth disappears snatched, letting appear the real place setting. And the meal, conducted by the chef Éric Trochon.
After the entrée Presque là , the headwaiters put on the table big eggs which they break to create fantastic animals: a room of gustative curiosities. Quail homarus / Butterfly of red mullet with feather / Coturnix caparisoned in morels. Then a multitude of pastries trompe-l'oeil strews the table and suits in the sharing of a big exhilarating dessert.
