Julien Montassié, who trained with Michel Troisgros, Gilles Goujon and Laurent Lemal, has taken over as Executive Chef of the Domaine Riberach restaurants****. Previously head chef at "Host et Vinum", he was also Laurent Lemal's right-hand man for three years in the kitchens of Domaine Riberach****. For Julien, it's a real return to his roots, both literally and figuratively!
Nicolas Forthias travelled all over France before settling in Riberach in 2020. From the Côte d'Azur to Burgundy via Corsica, he has worked as Pastry Chef de Partie at the Michelin-starred Montracher. His heart sways between cooking and pastry-making, but for our greatest pleasure he combines the two disciplines as Deputy Chief of "La Coopérative".
At Riberach, we defend a certain idea of "Slow food" cuisine: fluid, structured and gourmet, the cuisine at our place vibrates, according to the seasons, the market and the desires of the moment. In a constant search for fresh local products, km 0 is our motto. This terroir is revealed and appreciated in a succession of dishes with flavours that announce themselves, respond or jostle each other...
The chefs and their team combine expertise and simplicity, accuracy and precision, modernity and tradition. Their aim is to rediscover the original meaning of the product, to work on it, respect it, and magnify it, while ensuring that the notion of sharing is never lost! "Instinct, respect, impulse, encounter, deliciousness...
Friendly cuisine and a contemporary vision, instinctive, evolving, gourmet and lively: local produce served on a plate".
"The ever-changing menu is a tribute to all the small producers in the area and the confidence we have in them."
