This fall Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris invites Maison Ruinart to install its private dining room in the restaurant Il Carpaccio for 2 weeks, from November 4 to 16, 2019. The universe of this exclusive space, with a capacity of 8 seats will be entirely conceived around an artistic collaboration between the Brazilian artist Vik Muniz and the champagne house Ruinart, on the theme of roots. The Shared Roots menu, available for lunch and dinner, with a Ruinart Food and Champagne pairing, has been specially designed for this occasion.
From Sao Paulo to New York, Vik Muniz’s itinerary is like his art: breathtaking. Fascinated by the power of image and optics, he specializes in the reproduction of masterpieces and photographs through unusual raw materials such as foliage, flowers and rubbish. The artist seeks to awaken the senses of the viewer, for a complete immersion in his universe.
It is in Reims, on the occasion of the 2018 harvest, that Vik Muniz discovers the historic vineyard of the oldest Champagne house: Maison Ruinart. He meets Frédéric Panaïotis, Cellar Master, with whom he shares a true love and passion for nature. From this beautiful exchange will be born 7 works on the theme of roots, including a scenography presented during two weeks, in the heart of the lobby of Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris.
Chef Filipe Da Assunçao, with a red-white-blue collar, will compose a vegetable menu, sublimating various root vegetables, from the most common to the most unusual. To top off this most royal experience, Frédéric Panaïotis will propose a pairing of dishes and Champagnes with different Ruinart wines selected for the occasion.
This table “Serra”, combining the art of Vik Muniz, the know-how of Ruinart and the excellence of Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, will be open for lunch and dinner. The promise of a sensory and artistic experience.
Ephemeral private dining room “Serra” from Monday, November 4 to Saturday, November 16, 2019
Lunch or dinner pairing Ruinart dishes and champagnes: 195 € / person (up to 8 people)
