Alain Ducasse, Massimo Bottura and Yannick Alleno at the press conference for the launch of Refettorio at the Foyer de la Madeleine, on Thursday morning, 15th March, in Paris. Flashes lightened up the tunnels of a church that has been hosting a soup kitchen for a long time now, though only open at lunchtime. The new establishment will guarantee that evening meals are also available
Initially, there was Refettorio Ambrosiano. It was 2015 and everyone said Massimo Bottura was making use of the platform offered by Expo in Milan. One year later, he opened Refettorio Gastromotiva in Rio de Janeiro in the summer. Of course (ironic) making use of the wave offered by the Olympic Games. It’s as if people expected that in order to aim for success, you should choose the worst date possible to miss the goal.
