The Metropole Hotel in Cork city is partnering with Alliance Française de Cork for a unique event that celebrates the rich flavours and traditions of French cuisine and cinema.
“Projection Gourmande” is an immersive dining experience curated by Alliance Française de Cork President Valérie David-McGonnell alongside Trigon Hotels’ French Executive Chef Alex Petit.
The event takes place on Friday, October 9th from 7.00pm to 10.30pm in the hotel’s recently renovated Douglas Vance Suite.
Guests will enjoy a specially designed four-course meal inspired by regional dishes from across France. This will be followed by a screening of Sébastien Tulard’s 2023 acclaimed French film Sugar & Stars, a heartwarming story centred on the journey of a young French chef pursuing his culinary dreams.
Alex Petit said: “I’m really excited about this menu as it gives the team of chefs at the Metropole Hotel a fantastic opportunity to use locally sourced ingredients and give them a French twist. In designing the menu, I was inspired by some of the most-loved dishes from my home country such as soufflé and Bouillabaisse. It is a privilege to team up with Alliance Française de Cork which has been instrumental in some memorable events in Cork in recent years and I have no doubt that Projection Gourmande will be one of those unique experiences for food and film fans.”
Valérie David-McGonnell added: “There is a great appetite for French film in Cork and we are delighted to partner with Alex and the team at the Metropole for this event. Alex is a fantastic chef and has designed a wonderful menu that can be enjoyed in the intimate setting of the Douglas Vance suite followed by the screening of the highly acclaimed Sugar & Stars, a real French cinematic treat.”
