While the Michelin guide unveiled its new stars, Monday, March 6, a chef already recognized by the gastronomic directory has decided to offer a low-cost menu to introduce his cuisine to a new audience.
Every day, Sébastien Chambru, starred chef at the restaurant “L’Ô des Vignes” in Fuissé (Saône-et-Loire), seeks the balance of flavors. He conquered his first star five years ago. Its most prestigious menu reaches 118 euros. But every day, it is close to his heart to offer a much more affordable one: a market menu at 36 euros. “What we want is to attract people to us. So we can’t make them spend hundreds of euros every day“, he explains.
Inexpensive seasonal products
The chef settled ten years ago in the wine-growing village. To develop his menu, he gets supplies from local producers. Inexpensive seasonal products are worked with the greatest care. In particular, he cooks thin slices of marinated beef, revealed by the interplay of textures. In the dining room, customers are won over. Some discover the know-how of a star. For the chef, the more affordable menu is a loss leader for people to discover their cuisine.
