Faithful to his signature style and yet always open to new influences, he stays clear of fleeting trends, preferring instead to continuously refine his own path. His creations – rooted in French haute cuisine and enriched with Mediterranean and Asian nuances – focus on the essentials and strive for a masterful symbiosis of ingredients, prepared using only the finest that nature provides.
