The Complete Works of Le Chateaubriand (2006–2026)

Opened in 2006 in Paris’s 11th arrondissement by chef Inaki Aizpitarte and Frédéric Peneau, Le Chateaubriand laid the foundations of bistronomy: free, inventive cooking served without the codes of fine dining. This book traces twenty years of its history as an oral history, built over three years and some one hundred interviews by François Chevalier and Stéphane Peaucelle-Laurens.

Chefs, critics, regulars and friends recall the defining dishes, the memorable nights, the stars and the harsh reviews. A portrait of the creative freedom that made the restaurant’s name, as Inaki Aizpitarte steps away.
