I was born a chef.
In 2003, I took over the family restaurant "La Grenouillère" near Montreuil-sur-Mer in the
Pas-de-Calais region.
There, I elaborate a unique, authentic, signature cuisine. I humbly anchor it in my region,
in the Côte d’Opale which I explore in all its aspects, natural and human. I offer a true
French-rooted contemporary cuisine, unburdened by its convictions and its a priori.
In 2009, I entrusted the architect Patrick Bouchain with the makeover of the restaurant
to modernize the place. My ambition is for La Grenouillère to be much more than a mere
restaurant.
La Grenouillère is a house of freedom and expression for those who live in it and live it
with me.
I promote contemporary cuisine by offering my vision of a taste and a territory, wich fully
embraces who I am.
Being contemporary, keeping up with the times, is also about conserving with other worlds,
receiving critical esteem, sending your cuisine beyond borders.
La Grenouillère is a house for chefs, for sharing, and a house of freedom and expression.
12 years of daily work, meetings, exchanges, passion and desires, day after day, month
after month... 12 years of constant motion.
I love this Albert Camus recipe: "La meilleure façon de préparer l’avenir est de tout
donner au présent." (The best way to prepare for the future consists in giving everything to the present.)
