A few words...
“For me, cooking is a bit like music. You put flavors together like notes, you listen carefully while cooking, you make adjustments, and sometimes the perfect moment comes when everything lines up like the perfect melody!”
In addition to this passion for cooking and the need to offer pleasure and delicious food to our guests, there are also strong values in which I deeply believe.
These values were passed on to me by the great chefs who supported me during the early years of my career and who still inspire me today. Sharing, transmission, sincerity, and excellence.
Cooking is an extension of oneself. Of one's sensitivity, one's history, one's personality.
My cuisine would be defined with these simple words: The Product, The Time and the Taste
The requirement for quality and proximity of the seasonal products that we offer at Restaurant Le Bistronome - Cuisine & Vins is a key element for me because it also contributes to the promotion of local know-how and respect for our environment.
The notion of time is then omnipresent whether for our market gardeners, our breeders, our winegrowers but also in the kitchen, for our cooking, our juices without forgetting the time necessary for the training and support of our young people.
Finally, I want to never lose sight of the fact that the culmination of all these efforts, from field to plate, remains Taste. It is the shared sensation that will bring pleasure and color one's own memories. "
I am often amazed by the talent of many of my colleagues, whose technique, audacity, and sometimes even genius inspire me. This enriches me and constantly pushes me to improve my recipes.
I learn every day, again and again!

From the age of eight, I knew I would be a cook, and my mother would already let me make birthday cakes for her friends to encourage me!
I started my apprenticeship at 14 and then passed a CAP enriched with a supplementary qualification in "restaurant desserts".
This allowed me to develop my knowledge of both pastry making and cooking.
A fast-paced training program collaborating with renowned Michelin-starred chefs at prestigious establishments:
- La Poularde in Montrond-les-Bains,
- l'Oustau de Baumanière in Les Baux-de-Provence.
Then the seasons, always starry,
- Winter in Courchevel at Les Airelles
- summer at the Byblos in Saint-Tropez.
I alternated seasons between cooking and pastry making, I learned a great deal in these establishments and alongside great chefs.
Then back to Lyon to Chef Christian Têtedoie, Quai Pierre Scize, Lyon 6th.
Born in Roanne, I took a somewhat crazy gamble, at only 24 years old, to acquire my hotel-restaurant in Roanne, "a dream" which I ran for 8 years before selling it and arriving in Calade.
An immediate professional symbiosis with Frédéric Baggieri, whom everyone knows by the simple first name of Fred, then owner of the restaurant La Nouvelle Orléans and seasoned professional.
I then agreed to join his team and took over the management of the kitchen brigade at his restaurant in 2017, and since then we have been working to develop our complementary skills and our respective sensitivities.
June 9, 2021, Le Bistronome was born from our complicity, from our common desire to showcase the territories of Beaujolais and its local producers while focusing on the fundamentals of our cuisine: Product, Time and Taste!
In October 2021, we joined the " Bistrots Beaujolais " network with the aim of promoting our region, our wines and our Beaujolais way of life!
It was in February 2024 that " Le Collège Culinaire de France " unanimously accepted us as a member of the founding chefs!
We can now work with exceptional producers who are committed to quality!
The official title of " Master Restaurateur " awarded in March 2024.
The only state-issued title for French restaurateurs. It is granted by the prefect of the department, following a surprise audit conducted by an independent body.
In June 2024 I was admitted to join the " Toques Blanches Lyonnaises " association with the sponsorship of Olivier Degand (L'abbaye Caladoise) and Benjamin Bouvard (Le Zeste Gourmand) and following surprise visits from the association's inspectors.
2025 will celebrate, starting in October, the inclusion of Bistronome in the " MICHELIN Guide " in the modern cuisine category.
We all appreciate the trust placed in us by the MICHELIN Guide inspectors and will work every day to live up to the legitimate expectations of our guests.
Thank you to the whole team for your daily efforts and for your commitment to this wonderful adventure.
To our local producers and partners, we would like to congratulate you on the quality of your work and the quality of the products you offer us.
To our clients, friends and tireless "ambassadors",
Thank you, thank you, and thank you for your kindness, encouragement, and support.
The Bistronome's motto has never been more appropriate: "Continue to progress and always aim higher."
