Helena Puolakka & Yannick : an exceptional four-hands collaboration at la Tour d’Argent

As part of the “La Tour en Balade” gastronomic journeys initiated in 2022, La Tour d’Argent continues its tradition of culinary exploration by welcoming a renowned chef for an exclusive collaboration. On March 7 and 8, the Parisian institution will host Helena Puolakka, head chef of Savoy Helsinki, for an exceptional four-hands dinner alongside Chef Yannick Franques, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and executive chef of La Tour d’Argent.

Overlooking Notre-Dame, this unique gastronomic event will celebrate the meeting of Finnish haute cuisine and French culinary heritage—a refined dialogue between two rich traditions, where expertise and excellence intertwine for a memorable dining experience.

Two menus will be offered for this exceptional occasion:

• A lunch at €160 (excluding beverages), an elegant introduction to this fusion of flavors.
• A prestigious dinner at €450 (excluding beverages), showcasing a meticulously crafted four-hands menu.

An invitation to embark on a culinary journey at the crossroads of cultures and flavors, for a moment suspended in the history of La Tour d’Argent.

“This exceptional occasion is a beautiful encounter between Finnish and French cuisine, each paying tribute to its deep-rooted heritage and finest ingredients in a delightfully contemporary way. As a Finnish citizen through my mother, Chef Yannick Franques and I are particularly excited to welcome Chef Helena Puolakka to Paris for a gastronomic weekend that we will remember for a very long time!”
