“Top Chef contestant Alexia Duchene opens restaurant in Brooklyn with Italian-influenced menu”

After having cut his teeth in France and in particular in the capital, Alexia Duchene felt it was time for her to travel. It’s in New York, more precisely in Brooklyn in the Fort Greene neighborhood, let her be found. After conquering the hearts and the palate of the French, the former candidate of Top Chef judged that it was time to make a new start.

Alexia Duchêne sets sail for the United States and more specifically for Brooklyn, for a change of life : “You have been seeing me traveling there for a few months now and now I can officially tell you about this project that is very close to my heart”can we read on Instagram. “Many of you will say to me: ‘But why New York and not Paris?’ To be honest, it’s been my dream since I was eight years old to live there, it’s a city that fascinates me… I also met two simply incredible women with whom I’m collaborating on this project, Kipleen Green and Halley Chambers”explained the chef.

“Finally, making France shine abroad is something that drives me and I hope that I will reach the end of my ambitions in this extraordinary city.”

His restaurant called Margot wants to be friendly. What’s the menu? Dishes to share combining refinement and Italian influencessuch as cavatelli of nettles, clams and radicchio or even a giant raviolo containing an egg yolk, accompanied by mashed potatoes and shallots.

But that’s not all, like the site Kombini also specifies it, the card will also offer “oysters with rhubarb and guajillo pepper oil, halibut, green beans and yellow wine sauce, pork loin, crab and tamarind” or “a sweet potato, white asparagus, champagne honey sauce, rainbow trout and XO sauce”.

A card that we dream of testing. How about heading to Brooklyn?
