FRANCE. SSP France has been selected to operate a new restaurant with Réunion des Musées Nationaux as part of the renovation of the renowned Parisian museum, Grand Palais.
The travel food & beverage specialist has partnered with renowned chef, Thierry Marx to bring luxury cuisine to the Parisian landmark.
The Michelin-starred chef has long been a strong advocate for culinary innovation and sustainable cuisine and he is expected to bring that philosophy to this latest venture.
In line with their commitment to sustainability, SSP said that the new restaurant will use locally sourced ingredients and introduce sustainable practices.
Thierry Marx said: “As a child, the Grand Palais was a key source of inspiration for my imagination. From my visits to the Palais de la Découverte to the numerous exhibitions I attended and recent culinary events, this institution has always been intertwined with my development.
“It’s an honour to have visitors enjoy my food at all locations and this new space is no different. As culinary creators, we aim to help people forge lifetime memories and I can think of no better place to do this than here with the SSP team.”
SSP France Managing Director Gérard D’Onofrio said: “SSP has been part of the culinary landscape of Paris for many years, operating outstanding F&B both at Paris’ leading airports as well as the world famous Train Bleu. It’s extremely exciting to be undertaking this new project at yet another Parisian flagship location.”
The restaurant will be located at the heart of the Grand Palais and the Palais de la Découverte will begin trading in April 2025. ✈
