Join Chef-Instructors Ben and Olive, along with the students of Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts, for a one-night-only pop-up dinner honouring legendary French chef and educator Jacques Pépin on his 90th birthday.

Inspired by Jacques Pépin’s lifelong devotion to technique, teaching, and the beauty of simple, honest cuisine, this special evening features a multi-course menu rooted in classic French tradition. Each dish is re-created with the passion and artistry that define his enduring love of French cooking.

Guests will begin with a Gougère filled with black truffle mornay, followed by a warm duck salad with le Puy lentils and winter greens in a sharp Dijon-shallot vinaigrette. A Provençal-inspired fish soup scented with fennel, saffron, and tomato offers a taste of southern France before moving into the hearty daube de bœuf à la Provençale, served with brown-butter celeriac purée and bright citrus notes.

To finish, Crêpes Suzette à l’Ancienne, flambéed with Grand Marnier and oranges, brings the evening to a classic close — a sweet homage to Jacques Pépin’s timeless French sensibility and the perfect way to cosy up in the fall season.
