The restaurant offers the chance to dine like a king.
London:
Who wouldn’t want to eat like a king? Many people are curious about what type of food royal families like to eat, and this often becomes a topic of conversation for them. But what if there was a restaurant where you could eat the same food as a king from a royal line that once ruled the world? For many people, this would be a dream come true, and one renowned restaurant is about to make it a reality.
A London restaurant is giving people the chance to enjoy the same meal served to King Charles III during his visit to France last month. But there will be no luxurious toast or the luxurious Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles near Paris.
And if you’re not struggling with the high cost of living in Britain, you can pay $335 to enjoy this special meal prepared by renowned French chefs Anne-Sophie Pic and Yannick Alleno.

Wine is extra.
Monday’s gastronomic event will be held at Alleno’s London restaurant Pavyllon, in the Four Seasons hotel on Park Lane. There were still places available on Friday afternoon.
The starter is Pic’s blue lobster and brown crab with fresh almond voile and costmary mint, followed by Alleno’s main course: Bresse poultry with porcini gratin and romaine stuffed with corn and truffle.
The dessert, by pastry chef Pierre Herme, is based on his Ispahan macaron, re-confectioned for the occasion with raspberry, lychee and rose sorbet.
The state banquet was held on the evening of September 20 at Versailles, west of Paris, with celebrities from both sides of the Channel including Mick Jagger, Hugh Grant and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
Alleno told British media at the time that he planned to add asparagus to the poultry when the state visit was originally scheduled for March.
But after the trip was postponed due to widespread civil unrest in France over pension reforms, he had to take the seasons into account, and ultimately opted for mushrooms.
