Le Café Cyril Lignac is the brand’s first UK catering venture, perfectly blending modernity with Parisian charm. Le Café Cyril Lignac is housed in the luxurious space of the Louis Vuitton airport boutique and features an exceptional aerodynamic design. The façade was designed in collaboration with renowned architect Marc Fornes. The look was created in collaboration with a New York-based studio to stand out in a busy airport environment. The store showcases a thoughtful selection of women's fashion and men's accessories in an intimate space inside.
Le Café Cyril Lignac is Louis Vuitton’s first collaboration with the Parisian chef, who brings a casual sophistication to classic French and international cuisine. Chef Cyril Lignac has curated a unique all-day menu for the cafe, which includes healthy, classic and savory dishes, including options such as Croque-Monsieur and lobster rolls. To accommodate travelers throughout the day, the café offers counter service and table seating, perfect for enjoying snacks, hot dishes, pastries or coffee.
The menu at Le Café Cyril Lignac showcases a delicious range of French dishes, prepared with the finest ingredients. For early risers, the hotel offers a variety of breakfast options, including eggs royale (similar to eggs benedict), croissants, fruit plate, and avocado toast. Dinner and lunch options include crab salad, French sandwiches, beetroot salad, lobster rolls and Caesar salad. For a sweet after-lunch treat, try their Eton Mess, which is a blend of whipped cream, meringue and mango. Of course, all tableware is decorated with the famous Damier Ebene pattern for which the brand is well known.
One of the highlights of the menu is the selection of pastries, made with the same precision and artistry that Lignac is known for. The croissants were flaky and buttery, the chocolate buns were rich and decadent, and the macarons were colorful. For those looking for a more substantial meal, the cafe offers a range of sandwiches and salads, all made with fresh seasonal ingredients and served on artisan bread.
