Three-star restaurant in Megève
‘Come and discover Emmanuel Renaut’s current menus at the ‘Flocons de Sel’ gastronomic restaurant or at the ‘Flocons Village’ bistro in Megève town centre.
Emmanuel RENAUT, Best Worker in France and Compagnon du Tour de France, has been awarded a third Michelin star. He was trained in Paris and started his career in the restaurant of the Crillon hotel, under Christian Constant, working with people such as Yves Camdeborde and Eric Frechon... He then went to Marc Veyrat at L'Auberge de L'Eridan, where he was assistant chef for seven years. During this period he spent some time with Chef Yves Thuriès. After a period in London, where he ran the kitchens at Claridge’s, he returned to the mountains 14 years ago and settled in Megève. He set up his own ‘Flocons de sel’ Restaurant in this town. He is currently developing a range of new services for his guests at his new hotel on the slopes above Megève: cookery classes, accommodation and a Luxury Relaxation Area.
In Megève, Chef Emmanuel Renaut serves a cuisine in his own image: delicious, lively, brightly coloured, engaging and up to date.
As Pierre Margara, another artist from Megève, puts it:
‘His cuisine is both highly flavoured and delicate at the same time, just like our mountains - there are gently rolling hills, and then the glorious surprise of a soaring peak’.
In his search for the finest possible ingredients, Emmanuel Renaut seeks out his suppliers from the elderly home distiller to the lake fisherman, from the cellars of the cheesemaker in Beaufort to the baker’s shop. From the bee-keeper in love with his bees to the wine grower from her native region of the Valais. All this so that he can introduce you to a particular savoir faire, to local traditions and a certain art of living through his cooking.
