Adam Purcell

5th – 9th May | One sitting from 7pm | £65

Adam Purcell is the Irish chef turning heads in the French capital with his faultless fine-dining concept, Comptoir De Vie. Part creative laboratory, part culinary theatre, there Adam delivers eight courses of magic to the few wide-eyed guests lucky enough to snag a seat at the counter.

Comptoir de Vie is the culmination of a journey that has taken him from the Emerald Isle through some of Europe’s most exacting kitchens, honing his craft at Grégory Marchand’s Michelin-starred Frenchie, where he was made head chef of its Covent Garden outpost, before a stint at Matthew Orlando’s trailblazing Amass in Copenhagen opened him up to a whole new world of creative cooking.

Built around organic French ingredients from small producers, fermentation, and a circular approach to cooking, Adam’s menu is a reflection of the kitchens that shaped him, woven together with nods to his Irish heritage to create dishes that are refined, thoughtful and just a little playful.

Expect elegant yet expressive knockouts like ‘Irish Boxty Potato Pancake, Red Leicester, Sautéed Morels’; ‘Barbecued Asparagus, Neals Yard Dairy Goats Curd, Wild Garlic Pesto, Smoked Pollock Bone Foam’ and ‘Confit Pollock, Cabbage Stem “Kimchi” Hollandaise, Grilled Red Gem Lettuce’ as Adam joins us for five nights.
