La Table Des Chefs: CHEF Florian Barbarot
Chef Florian Barbarot took over from rising star Mallory Gabsi at La Table des Chefs in Reims on August 11th 2023. He ran the restaurant in Reims for three months, offering an immersive, innovative experience based on his cuisine and G.H. Mumm cuvées.
Chef Florian Barbarot
Florian Barbarot has honed his skills at some of the world’s finest Michelin-starred restaurants – L’Auberge de l’Ill in Alsace, Daniel in New York and restaurants in all over the world. During his time in Manhattan, the young chef discovered gourmet restaurants where fish was given a prominent place on the menu. This cultural singularity was to become the signature of his first Parisian restaurant, Quelque Part, which opened in the 9th arrondissement of Paris.
The Menu
Florian Barbarot adds his poetic eye and sense of sharing to the gastronomic explorations of La Table des Chefs. Starting with a carte blanche, he imagines a culinary story steeped in the history of Maison Mumm, with a focus on its emblem, the Cordon Rouge. Bold and full of taste, his dishes from both land and sea are created to be a global experience: to honor an exceptional place and its history, and resonate in perfect balance the riches of the terroir with the right wines.
Food Pairing
In three, four or six sequences, fresh, gourmet dishes offer astonishing combinations – from candied octopus and red currant cordon rouge, to eryngii mushroom and coffee butter or, for the sweet finale, candied beluga lentil and rhubarb cordon rouge. Champagne begins and ends the journey, drawing from the source at first and then literally like foam signals the end of this voyage between land and sea.
When I visited the Mumm cellars in Reims, I discovered the Maison’s rich history. At La Table des Chefs, I want to create a cuisine that reflects me, and it’s the dish that will speak for itself…
— Florian Barbarot.
