Simplicity, lightness and creativity

Lucie Pichon offers a gastronomy full of simplicity, lightness and freshness. Her passion for cooking, her generosity and her touch of femininity are reflected in her beautiful colorful and graphic plates. Her recipes reflect the strong personality of this Breton girl. Her mastery of the culinary art, her exigency and her pugnacity are the guiding principles behind Lucie’s choice of her creations. Lucie Pichon also explodes in creativity when she draws with art and without false note a dish in the form of checkerboard, where the most simple and even sometimes forgotten vegetables, gather to form a unique and captivating composition.
Yohan Gouverneur also composed a masterpiece of creativity and tastes, inspired by winter, in which the chestnut brings its touch of terroir to a yuzu from distant horizons to recharge our energies with fragrant vitamins.
