A few words...

“For me, cooking is a bit like music. You put flavors together like notes, you listen carefully while cooking, you make adjustments, and sometimes the perfect moment comes when everything lines up like the perfect melody!”

 

In addition to this passion for cooking and the need to offer pleasure and delicious food to our guests, there are also strong values in which I deeply believe.

 

These values were passed on to me by the great chefs who supported me during the early years of my career and who still inspire me today. Sharing, transmission, sincerity, and excellence.

 

Cooking is an extension of oneself. Of one's sensitivity, one's history, one's personality.

My cuisine would be defined with these simple words: The Product, The Time and the Taste

 

The requirement for quality and proximity of the seasonal products that we offer at Restaurant Le Bistronome - Cuisine & Vins is a key element for me because it also contributes to the promotion of local know-how and respect for our environment.

 

The notion of time is then omnipresent whether for our market gardeners, our breeders, our winegrowers but also in the kitchen, for our cooking, our juices without forgetting the time necessary for the training and support of our young people.

 

Finally, I want to never lose sight of the fact that the culmination of all these efforts, from field to plate, remains Taste. It is the shared sensation that will bring pleasure and color one's own memories. "

 

I am often amazed by the talent of many of my colleagues, whose technique, audacity, and sometimes even genius inspire me. This enriches me and constantly pushes me to improve my recipes.

 

I learn every day, again and again!

A passionate journey

already a kid...

passion becomes more pressing...

accelerated training...

a crazy project...

a meeting...

an ode to Gluttony...

From the age of eight, I knew I would be a cook and my mother already let me make her friends' birthday cakes to encourage me!

I started my apprenticeship at 14 and then passed a vocational certificate (CAP) with an additional qualification in “restaurant desserts”.

I was thus able to develop my knowledge of baking as well as cooking.

A fast-paced training course working with great Michelin-starred chefs at the prestigious “La Poularde” restaurants in Montrond-les-Bains,

“The Oustau de Baumanière” in Baux-de-Provence.

Then the seasons, always starry!

Winter in Courchevel at "Airelles" and summer at "Byblos" in Saint-Tropez. "I alternated seasons between cooking and pastry, I learned a lot in these establishments and alongside great chefs.

Then back to Lyon to Chef Christian Têtedoie, Quai Pierre Scize, Lyon 6th

Born in Roanne, I made a somewhat crazy bet, at only 24 years old, to acquire my hotel-restaurant precisely...in Roanne, "a dream" that I ran for 8 years before selling it and arriving in Calade.

An immediate professional symbiosis with Frédéric Baggieri, known to everyone simply by his first name, Fred, then owner of the restaurant La Nouvelle Orléans and a seasoned professional.

I then agreed to join his team and took over the management of the kitchen brigade of his restaurant in 2017 and since then we have been working to develop our complementarities and our respective sensibilities.

The Bistronome was born from our complicity, from our shared desire to showcase the Beaujolais region and its local producers, while ensuring we focus on the fundamentals of cuisine:

the Product, the Time and the Taste!
