The Roland-Garros Food Court is located between the gardens of the Serres d'Auteuil and the Place des Mousquetaires. Don't wait any longer and come to discover the specialities of the countries Roland Garros the aviator passed through on his travels! On the menu: galette, pinsa, pita and fish and chips.

The fish and chips

In 1918, after being taken prisoner in a German prison in Belgium, Roland Garros managed to escape, disguised as a German officer. After a long journey, he managed to reach British shores in the company of another prisoner. In London, the legendary fish & chips with tartar sauce is the symbol of British gastronomy.

The pita

Continuing his journey, Roland Garros crossed the Mediterranean in 1913, discovering new horizons. He was the very first aviator to achieve this feat: 7 hours and 53 minutes at an average speed of 101 km/h. Along the way, we come across the pita, a Mediterranean specialty with exotic accents that transports visitors' taste buds with its spices and herbs.

The galette

In 1911, Roland Garros' journey took him to the coast of Cancale in Brittany, where he set a spectacular altitude record. The French aviator exceeded 3,950m, a record that would launch his legend among the world's finest aviators. It's also an opportunity to discover the legendary galette de sarrasin (buckwheat pancake).

The pinsa

It all began in Paris in 1911. It was there that Roland Garros, driven by his thirst for adventure, decided to set off for his first trials and records. After a difficult journey, he found himself in the hustle and bustle of the Eternal City, Rome. And how can we talk about Rome without mentioning one of its flagship specialties: the pinsa, a Roman culinary treasure trove of unique flavors.
