Jihyun Kim

10th – 14th June  |  One sitting from 7:30pm  |  £65 – £69.5

Fresh from six years at three-Michelin-star L’Arpège under the tutelage of Alain Passard, Korean rising star Jihyun Kim is gearing up for a Parisian opening of her own: Ébène.

Born in Korea, classically trained in France, Jihyun Kim’s food combines the clarity of French technique with the quiet intensity of Korean flavour. Her impeccable CV includes stages at Têtedoie* (Lyon) and Septime* (Paris) but it was her time as sous chef at L’Arpège that opened her eyes to the art and artistry of vegetable-led cooking; building depth from simplicity, using smoke like seasoning and plating with purpose. Now Jihyun is ready to strike out on her own.

Opening in Paris later this year, Ébène – a collaboration with pastry chef and partner Simon Plantrou – promises to light up the city of gastronomic excellence. Don’t miss your chance to try this thrilling new, vegetable-forward project right here on Charlotte Street.
