This December, the Apollo restaurant unveils a generous winter menu and festive dishes that celebrate seasonal produce. Between the chef’s creations, seafood specialities, and exceptional dinners, discover the art of hospitality — Van der Valk style.
A winter menu crafted as an ode to indulgence
At the Van der Valk Hotel Paris CDG Airport, winter is one of the most inspiring seasons for the kitchen. The chef presents a menu that blends warmth, authenticity, and elegance, highlighting seasonal products: delicate fish, winter vegetables, velvety sauces, gently woody or spiced notes… Each plate is designed to deliver a comforting experience while keeping the creative twist that defines Apollo.
Seafood lovers will particularly enjoy the “Buffets de la Mer,” offered as special editions featuring lobster — a much-awaited event showcasing freshness and finesse in a refined, convivial setting. The perfect way to celebrate the season with family or friends over a festive lunch.
Exceptional moments to celebrate Christmas and New Year
