Watch here Tom Aikens explains about the menu selection:

The à la carte menu features elevated French favourites such as Escalope de Saumon à l’Oseille, paired with a delicate sorrel sauce, and Côte de Veau, a tender veal chop served with seasonal vegetables and a robust jus. A curated selection of sides — including Gratin Dauphinois and Haricots Verts “Lyonnaise” — along with house-made sauces, allow for a personalised touch.

A standout is the Plats du Jour, a rotating daily special that celebrates the soul of French comfort cuisine. From Boeuf Bourguignon on Mondays to the aromatic Poulet “Chasseur” on Wednesdays, and Coq au Vin on Sundays, each dish is a heartfelt homage to tradition, crafted with precision and care.

With roots in some of Europe’s most revered Michelin-starred kitchens — including La Tante Claire, Joël Robuchon, and Gérard Boyer — Aikens brings a deep respect for French gastronomy to this reimagined concept.

“The elegance of French cuisine lies in its simplicity,” says Aikens. “It’s an honour to reinterpret these classics at ALICE and offer guests something both sophisticated and deeply comforting.”
