Francis Mallmann to take over Mayfair restaurant for three nights
Argentine chef Francis Mallmann will serve up a six-course tasting menu for three nights only at Wolfgang Puck's CUT at 45 Park Lane.
Mallman's London debut, from 3-5 October, will see him serve up signature dishes including smashed crusty Andean potato with smoked butter and caviar; corn humita with basil; plancha avocado with salmon confit; sweetbread on eggplant Milanese as well as slowly roasted rubia gallega rib eye on the bone.
The chef said: "This will be a perfect meal; it has two of my favourite ingredients… crusty potato and rib eye. I've cooked with my dear friend Wolfgang Puck in LA before, but for my first time cooking in London I'm looking forward to sharing a kitchen with David McIntyre. He has the respect for product that is the essential starting point for making a great, beautiful steak and the mastery of a simple way of grill cooking that is very difficult to achieve."
David McIntyre, director of food & beverage and executive chef at CUT, added: "Mallmann is one of the biggest names in global cooking - it's an incredible honour to be collaborating with him."
The menu will be accompanied by Argentinian wines from historic family winery, Bodega Catena Zapata.
The six-course tasting menu is priced at £280, excluding drinks.
