Le Kintessence | Courchevel 1850

As night falls, when the skies of Courchevel are filled with a myriad of stars, the stars of the gourmet restaurant Le Kintessence shine brightest. Under the leadership of the talented chef Jean-Rémi Caillon - who creates food inspired by original flavours - Le Kintessence expertly combines local, refined and seasonal products for a taste sensation. And, the pastry chef Sébastien Vauxion rips up the rule book, offering bold, high-quality patisserie.

 

A chef and culinary artisan, Jean-Rémi Caillon loves good produce and goes in search of the very best that man and nature have to offer. Surrounded by producers with “good taste”, he works his magic at Le Kintessence, the Michelin-starred restaurant at Le K2 Palace, an elegant kitchen where the product is showcased through all its flavours with a touch of Alpine inspiration. Dazzling with balance, subtlety and precision, Le Kintessence works with deep “umami” notes, prolonged by excellent wine and food pairings where local products take centre stage. The cherry on the cake - the breathtaking desserts by Sébastien Vauxion show that in patisserie, creativity is an infinite source of happiness.
