L’Odéon celebrates Mère Brazier
On March 12, 2026, the bistro L’Odéon is devoting an entire evening to one of the most influential figures in French gastronomy: Eugénie Brazier. A visionary cook who trained the greatest chefs of her time and pioneered a modern French cuisine that was rigorous and deeply rooted in the product. Conceived as a living tribute, the unique menu features several of her classics, from pressed foie gras and artichokes to pike bread with crayfish in Nantua sauce, to the iconic Bresse poultry demi-deuil with black truffle, before a signature finale featuring “Rosé” praline cabbage. With Benjamin Garin at the helm, the evening promises to be a moment of culinary transmission. Revisiting Brazier today is a reminder of the extent to which its heritage still permeates contemporary gastronomy. All in the spirit of L’Odéon. A gourmet evening not to be missed.
