Noizé Truffle Extravaganza

An evening built around a single, fleeting ingredient: the Périgord truffle. Chef George Farrugia's bespoke tasting menu, five wines from Michel Chapoutier, and guest of honour London's Truffle Queen. 

On 3 March 2026, London's Truffle Queen joined Encountr at Noizé — the intimate French restaurant tucked into the heart of Fitzrovia — for an evening devoted entirely to one extraordinary ingredient: the Périgord truffle.

Head Chef George Farrugia built a bespoke menu around the truffle's brief season and unmistakable character.

Encountr's David Alexander paired it with five wines from Michel Chapoutier — including the Hermitage Chante-Alouette 2021, the Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Bernardine Blanc 2023 and the Cornas Arènes 2019 — each introduced personally by Chapoutier expert Al McNair of Hatch Mansfield. Domaine Evremond opened proceedings at reception, before a three-course dinner unfolded at a considered pace, with carriages called for 10pm.

This is the kind of evening Encountr exists to create; wine paired with one highlight ingredient, treated properly, by the people who know it best. If truffle season is your season too, register your interest below: the next Truffle Extravaganza will go to our list before it goes anywhere else.
