Hélène Darroze relaunched her eponymous restaurant at The Connaught last week, two months after reopening her flagship in Paris. 
We met up with Hélène, the chef with three Michelin stars (two forThe Connaught and another for Marsan) to talk about the changes made to the historic Mayfair hotel's restaurant - namely, her brand new chef's table.

She told us a bit more about how she likes to run her kitchens, why she doesn't like her team to call her 'chef' and how she manages to maintain a work-life balance. 

Lastly, we spoke about her relationship with Michelin, and how it felt to lose a star for one restaurant on the same year she gained one for another.
