Noble and seasonal products

As head of the kitchens of restaurant Paloma, the talented young chef is passionate about fine and seasonal products and sublimates those from the region like those, most exclusive and far away, from the kitchen of the world. His inventive and gourmande cuisine, with contemporary flavors comes from his permanent quest for excellence in the production of dishes offering a magical balance between authenticity and creativity, enhanced for the eye by his sense of design.
At his side, the pastry chef Yohan Jara, signs the menu of sweet flavours.

Passionate about cooking, lover of beautiful Mediterranean flavors, the young chef faithfully respects the terroir and buys from local producers he loves to put in the spotlights at the Mas Candille Provencal Markets.
