There are things in life one should not miss… Attending the French Gastronomic Week in Lebanon was a must, at least for me. This event was special in many ways. . . Not only did we get to try dishes prepared by five outstanding chefs from France, this year’s edition marked the 12th anniversary of this renowned French Gastronomic Week at the Al Dente restaurant located on the ground floor of the Albergo Hotel in Achrafieh. Six nights filled where five chefs offered their best creations as they joined hands for a magical closing finale dinner.
Together with my parents I booked a table at the Al Dente Ristorante to enjoy the last day of the event. I was excited to check out what Chefs Jean-Jacques Noquier, Georges Paccard, Jean-Christophe Lebascle, Patrice Hardy and Jacques Pourcel have installed for us tonight. Accompanied by a generous flow of Roederer champagne, the grand finale to a week of flavors left everyone mesmerized…
