In the heart of Paris, an unexpected culinary event is the talk of the town: the world championship of œuf-mayonnaise. Orchestrated by theAssociation pour la sauvegarde de l'œuf-mayonnaise(ASOM), this annual competition celebrates a classic of French cuisine. And this year, a Parisian restaurant, whose name we reveal below, was awarded the prestigious title of World's Best Mayo Egg, joining previous winners such as Grande Brasserie and Rôtisserie d'Argent.
The 2023 edition was particularly close. The ultimate distinction was awarded because of delicate and decisive culinary nuances. Chef Maxime Plateau, head of this winning restaurant, spent an entire year perfecting his recipe. It was the impeccable quality of the mayonnaise, the perfect cooking of the egg, the just-right seasoning with old-fashioned mustard, and the accompaniment - notably the red cabbage pickles - that impressed the jury's taste buds. This champion dish is available for just 6 euros, a bargain for gourmets and the curious.
The victory of this Parisian restaurant, Le Moulin à vent, is not just a culinary triumph; it's also a celebration of tradition and simplicity. The egg mayonnaise, often perceived as a modest dish, has been propelled to the forefront of the gastronomic scene. This recognition illustrates the accessible excellence of French cuisine, an excellence that can be found in everyday dishes, transformed into masterpieces by the skills of our chefs.
For those tempted by this unique taste experience, a visit to Le Moulin à Vent, located in the 5th arrondissement, is a must. Tasting a world champion dish in a typically Parisian atmosphere, at an affordable price, is a must. Whether you're a gourmet or simply a lover of good food, this restaurant offers an authentic gourmet getaway, highlighting the richness and diversity of the Parisian gastronomic scene.
