Thanksgiving in Paris: Autumnal flavours and festive spirit in style at Maison Delano Paris

Celebrating Thanksgiving in Paris is a warm interlude between American tradition and French refinement. This year, Maison Delano Paris’ Delano Café restaurant pays tribute to this convivial holiday with an exceptional dinner by Paolo Minelli. Located in a former 18thᵉ century mansion in the heart of the VIIIᵉ arrondissement, 4 rue d’Anjou, a stone’s throw from the Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Maison Delano Paris embodies both elegance and awareness of place.

An autumnal menu at the heart of the Thanksgiving menu

For this edition, chef Paolo Minelli revisits the great Thanksgiving classics with a resolutely autumnal approach. Chestnuts, butternut, corn, pears, cranberries… all emblematic ingredients blended with the finesse of French cuisine. The €87 menu, with a glass of champagne, offers a succession of dishes that evoke the generosity of the American party, while retaining a measured elegance, a rare quality in a festive setting. The idea is not simply to offer a turkey or mashed potatoes as is, but to play on textures, seasons and pairings, a true dialogue between tradition and modernity. The chef invites you to a French Thanksgiving, where the generosity of the terroir meets the precision of the gesture.

The venue as a showcase for the experience

The setting of Delano Café is an integral part of the experience. Here, the elegant lounges, intimate terrace and hushed, confidential atmosphere reinforce the impression of exceptional dining, while remaining accessible. Whether it’s for an evening with friends, a brunch, a romantic meal or a special celebration, the place knows how to be chic without being ostentatious.

A few words about Paolo Minelli

An Italian-French chef, Paolo Minelli stands for artisanal, sincere cuisine. A member of the Collège Culinaire de France and Maître Restaurateur, he values producers and a job well done. His cuisine is generous but never demonstrative. It seeks clarity of taste, legibility of products, and that simple emotion that lingers in the memory. Each suggestion is a conversation between the warmth of the terroir and the rigor of French cuisine. His dishes evoke the freshness of southern markets: vegetables harvested when ripe, fish cooked at just the right temperature, fine herbs and delicate oils. Paolo Minelli creates a cuisine where Mediterranean lightness meets the precision of haute cuisine, a rare balance of nuances.
Generous in both gesture and smile, Paolo Minelli infuses his cuisine with sincere warmth and understated elegance. A chef who does good, and whose radiant talent promises to write many more beautiful pages.
