Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 кві 2024
- We are here in the seventh district of Paris, and today, we are going to Arpége. It's led by the famous Chef Alain Passard also known as The King of Vegetables.
The 3 Michelin star restaurant that went vegetarian about 20 years ago.
I know this place is famous, but are they going to make veggies try and mimic meat?

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission - to find inspiration in gastronomy. I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.
Check out my restaurant:

A la carte???! Blink twice if you're being held hostage Alexander!!
Yes Sir, there is Definitely Something "Fishy" about That 🤠...
I really dont understand how so many people in the comments can be confused by the video title. Its a chef whos specialty is vegetables, but they still serve some meat, seafood, and dairy on their menu. Its not exactly rocket science.
"Rocket science"....is that a salad joke ? Well done. 😅
I had a Sous Chef that Burnt 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Water. I am not surprised...
@@markmower6507wooow, this is next level, how is that possible? 😂
Because the description says "The 3 Michelin star restaurant that went vegetarian about 20 years ago." It would make more sense if he wrote pescetarian.
@@eleveneleven572I'm gonna pretend I did that on purpose 😅 we call it "arugula" over here in the states but I definitely prefer calling it "rocket"
Lobster, veal sweetbreads and caviar are my favourite vegetables too
Haha well he said eggplant caviar. 🤣
He reverted from the total vegetable menu and decided to incorporate animal proteins again but still maintain a strong focus on vegetables as part of the menu.
I lived in france. They dont think that others...
Umm, one sec…ummm…*chews… the plates, candles and table cloth too!
Lobster is a new carrot
In my opinion, Chef Passard is an absolute genius. He is unafraid to turn the "standard" on it's ear and produce something that is better than the original. Arpege has been on my bucket list for many years.
In my opinion: snore
he's the best and it's not close either.
Great to see this place highlighted. I'm into food but also vegetarian. 90%+ of restaurants out there are meat and fish centered. They have veggie options of course, but it's not what the chef (or restaurant) is most excited about, and don't inspire me to spend big bucks to go there. This might, although the price tag is still way above what I could afford.
Tge opposite for me. So much money for side dishes. Need a steak with that
Wow, I didn't know Alain Passard went on a vegetable inspired path.
Then again, he did fight against Iron Chef Hiroyuki Sakai, who also has a lot of experience with vegetables, so I'm not too surprised.
Just a tiny mistake Bordier butter comes from Brittany, near Saint Malo
Some people from Bretagne (Brittany) will argue that this is not just a tiny mistake. 😅
@@AlexDodig I do agree ... 😏
absolute genius. You are dressed like James Bond never shaken never stirred
The dinnerware is just stunning! Love that the chef is the artist of the artwork on the dinnerware and the menus.
Thank you. Another highlight.
Finally. I’ve been waiting patiently 😂😂
Amazing channel, been following you from the beginning. Congrats on so many subscribers. I was prepared to not Lil arpege when I went there in 2023, but I was blown away by the skill and passion of the kitchen.
Looking forward to your California content.
I have been watching since your first video when you only had 1k subscribers. Just as a friendly feedback, the editing felt a bit off and too rushed, especially at the start. I understand the change, but for a long-time viewer, the older intros felt better.
What I do with Alexander's video's - I play them at 0,75. Works wonders!
I really love your videos Alexander, you always seem so excited and tell interesting stories about the chefs and restaurants. It inspires me to one day be able to afford to visit these places
Interesting. Never realised lobster is a vegetable.
It turned vegetable last month. Looked like the fisherman caught one and it screamed: I am not a crustacean.
Superb as always. The review is enticing , entertaining, I am already salivating !!! A must visit when we are in Paris ❤
'can see the flavour of the dishes from the way ingredients are cooked, stand out skills and food knowledge, amazing'
Always fun seeing you check out vegetarian places, keep it up Alexander!
Would be even more daring if it went full vegetarian! :)
7:34 More stuff like this would be great! Hopefully I can try it one day.
@@robinsandquist can you please recommend any full vegetarian michelin restaurants?
@@fzbojek Well he covered this place! ua-cam.com/video/gh-0fA55DM8/v-deo.htmlsi=PRoF7osR0d7f7o64
It would be fun if only it was true
Love the creativity. Excellent.
Love your videos Alexander ❤
Waiting for more😊
Since when has seafood been vegetables?
yes I'm so confused
i think the point was to show how the 'vegetable king' can still handle proteins well? idk the title is def a little odd for this one
Same goes for egg, butter and creme fraiche
He initially went veggie-only but reintroduced seafood after a couple of years on the Terre et Mer menu. I think the main menu is still vegetarian.
You can be king of something and still serve other stuff?
Like "the king of bread" can still sell pastries in his shop.
or the "king of rock and roll" can still play classics, doesnt have to be exclusive.
Man the design outside the door is really cool.
We went there for our 25th anniversary and had the veggie tasting menu (Spring). Amazing! Chef Passard visited each table, and we did a photo and got a signed menu. During the meal, they brought our a whole roasted turbot and showed it around the room. It was for the diners who had gone with the “Terre et Mer” menu (not us). The whole experience was so great we decided that we would try to go in every season, and we did (we lived in Paris at the time). Chef Passard remembered us each time, and was a total delight. My wife was totally smitten with him he was so damn nice. The other times we went with Terre et Mer and again, superb, especially the lobster with smoked potatoes. We have all the four seasons menus signed and framed on our dining room wall. Also, it was a lot cheaper when we went, but still not inexpensive. One other thing, it’s Arpège not L’Arpège which even Alexander occasionally slipped on. So happy to watch this one, it brought back fond memories.
Some very creative dishes. The beet tartare was playful.
Finally getting around to watching this
the most important trait you have is HONESTY. So when you say something is really good, we know it REALLY is! Hajra!
Wasn’t too sure and then that rainbow of colour on a plate of a first course arrived. Sublime.
Thank you for this amazing content! You are amazing!
Köszönöm szépen, hogy a videóid által elutaztatsz olyan helyekre, olyan élményekre amiket én sosem fogok megtapasztalni. ezekkel a videókkal is kis ablakot nyitsz a világra számomra.
I love that restaurant so much - when did they add the painted flowers on the wall? I didn’t recall that in my previous times dining …
I really like when you talk about where certain things come from, like the butter from Normandy.
It’s kinda alarming how so many people just don’t understand that “vegetable-focused” doesn’t mean “vegetable only.”
they don't teach comprehension anymore.
Congratulations on winning the ATP 250 title in Bucharest. First title since 2018 and well deserved too!
You have a lucky daughter, like I was a lucky son. Great stuff.
No Krug???😮😮😮
Alain Passard, a great cook, wise and generous. A french fighter.
Vegetables as the star of the show from the VEGATBLE KING. All I can remember is that glorious lobster, the sweetbreads and the caviar.
That lobster portion was insane!
yeah, but i understand, they need make sure that costumer will get their usual portion of protein to feel fullfilment
Considering he ordered a la carte, that was a proper meal rather than a tasting menu item.
Best meal of my life was lunch at Arpege vegetarian menu with extra duck and a lot of wine great talk with chef Alain and the table next to mine
That lobster looked so yum. Both of them!
Wonderful clip 👍
music has gone mental, in this episode. Can barely hear you describe the desserts
A bit overpowering indeed.
Yes I was looking for this comment ;(
I really enjoyed the music you had before! But, still really enjoy your videos!!
5:19 , 🤔 that egg looks so good I am having a moment like in that movie with the pastrami sandwich...
Incredible chef, a true genius. How he grows those vegetables that look just like a lobster is amazing!! 😅
Alex the legend
Grilled vegetables. Wow. So creative. 🤭
W channel GG!
We can see on the bill two full bottles, did you drink it full during dinner, or brought it back ? (I'm not used to this kind of restaurants with 600€ bottle)
I was wondering about that too. I doubt the Pinot noir is actually full bottle price. A red bourgogne usually retails for at least 50,- Usually more. This would seem a bit oddly priced for it to be a full bottle. I can't find this particular one though. Yet again, I don't think it's a glass serving either because there is a single glass serving on the bill and that clearly says 1 coupe.
I looked up the Tarlant champagne and that seems to retail somewhere around 200,-. That is definitely full bottle price on the bill.
If you want an all vegetable experience try De Kas in Amsterdam. 1 Michelin star with its own gardens and greenhouse which also changes the menu up each week depending on the seasons.
How lucky your daughter is! 🤩
As someone unfamiliar with the intricacies of dining etiquette, I find myself puzzled:
The bill indicates that two bottles of wine were requested, yet there were only two guests at the table. Furthermore, the consumption didn't stop at wine; additional beverages were also part of the order. It seems implausible that they consumed two full bottles of wine in addition to other drinks, doesn't it?
What becomes of the remaining wine in the bottles? Is it simply discarded, or could it possibly be distributed to other diners? I'm curious to know if anyone can shed light on this matter.
it’s maybe a long reach, but i live in Venezuela, there isn’t a lot of good restaurants, but there is this amazing restaurant i know you would love called atrio, if you ever have venezuela in your travelling list i would really recommend it
I would love to see you try one of the few three Michelin starred vegetarian restaurant in the world - King's of Joy (Beijing). Perhaps surprisingly, China has relatively many vegetarian fine dinning restaurants. I am sure they will surprise you, as the style of cuisine is also Chinese. Other notable restaurants include: Fu He Hui, Vege Wonder and Lamdre.
Do you think you would eventually be able to Interview some of these Restaurateurs and Chefs?
I'm surprise they didn't core and remove the green part from the tomatoes on that starter.
I think i watched all your videos ahah
Good video but maybe a bit clickbaity with the title which implies that the only servings are going to be vegetables when in reality there’s plenty of seafood produce present.
I think I'd need to make around 1 million euros/year to feel justified in spending the money Alexander spends on the fine restaurants. The dishes looked very nice though.
Yas vegitable!!!
OH and I like Meat. But as a Chef I also like Vegetables. Indeed I was one of those strange children that liked broccoli and Asparagus and Spinach. So I could get down with this...
I was thinking the same FUCKIN THING - eggless mayo next to a huge fuckin lobster 🦞
You had a sweetbread and lobster in a vegetarian restaurant ???
I can't believe that this channel doesn't have more subscribers, excellent content
I think a lot of have seemed to miss the fact that when he said meat he meant mammals and when he said vegetarian based it’s because vegetables are the star of the show on his menu.
Another great review ! Now this is my idea of vegetarian - complete with lobster and caviar ! All the best, Alexander !
I would have died. Literally. Allergic to shellfish.
Little disappointed in not seeing a vegetarian tasting menu, however very creative ala carte
nice
Not strictly vegan. I love it❤❤
Love that the literal first dish is made with animal protein and fat.
Onion gratin for €88. Wtaf. Also, veal sweetbread, shellfish, seafood? When did all of that become vegetarian 😂
Does the audio sound really low quality to anybody else?
Try vegetarian menu also once also please!!!!!
what type of vegetable is lobster?
Or sweetbread. I think the idea of the restaurant is that vegetables are the star of the show, but not the exclusive players.
Nobody makes a better butter than Normandy as well as Brittany sir😉
The true story behind the switch to vegetables is that he was such a dh to suppliers that they decided to stop supplying him. Diva stuff.
😊
❤
If you like baking make his very famous apple tart the tart bouquet de roses .
Given the lack of high end wine the check seemed much too expensive.
I'm not a vegetarian and I despise the whole idea as privileged rich kids entitlement. But I have nothing at all against vegetarian food, as long as it tastes good. And very many do.
Ps.: I would not have anything against the vegetarian crew if they didn't kept calling me a murderer for eating meat. Makes me wonder if one should go full Hannibal and prove them right.
when visit Norway i try king Lobster it was ok but i like Salmon moor
Lobster is also my favourite vegetable
💖💖💖💖😍😍👍👍
Very tired comments saying "didn't know ______ was a vegetable." nowhere does it say it is a vegetarian meal - just that it heavily focuses on vegetables as the stars of dishes.
How can Arpege be considered vegetarian when they serve lobster, caviar and veal?
It‘s not. It focuses on vegetable dishes and the „normal“ tasting menu is fully vegetarian :)
Never wanted to eat there.
Now even less so!
They're vegetarian but serve lobster? It all looked amazing though regardless.
I’m amazed that the presentation was not up to par as to what I feel is expected from a three star restaurant, just an opinion though
Didn't know Veal Sweet bread is a vegetable..so does lobster.
Did I miss something, they Charge that Much , and They don't have 🥩 Steak?! Hahahahahahahaha 😂!!! Also I am a Gazpacho Master , and it does take skill. But My favorite Soup to make and eat is Borscht and I mean like the good Borscht with Beef and Triple Cream Brie. Uh oh, I shouldn't give out all my Culinary Secrets...
And here I thought the monarchy of vegetables belonged to Tadokoro Megumi
thank you for a very nice video!
new video when
Now I understand why Japan has more michelin stars….😂😂😂
Had I known that lobster is a vegetable, my lent would have gone much smoother.
veal is also vegetable, apparently
He is the VEGETABLE king, not VEGETARIAN king. There is a difference.
I grew up in the Midwest in & amongst farmland. I’ll be honest I’d have a hard time spending that much money on fruits & vegetables no matter how good they are.
My all time favorite snack is just-picked tomatoes with salt & pepper and if I’m feeling a little bougie I’ll add some cottage cheese & even more pepper. If anyone reading this has never had it YOU MUST TRY!
When I was growing up there was never any olive oil but I’ve since been shown the light and been using it on the tomatoes ever since. It’s good with or without.
Here’s my highly unlikely theory….. Alexander is secretly a Michelin inspector using the channel to document his travels and reviews (I know he has his own restaurant aka conflict of interest)
Clams mussels lobster and veal shortbread ya know vegetarian food
so your were giving us the impression that it was no meat but lobster and caviar? plus an actual egg..
