Benjamin Breton, named Grand of Tomorrow 2024 at the Gault&Millau Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes

Émilie Lesur | 2/5/24

The chef from L'Auberge de Lucinges, not far from the Swiss border, was named Grand of Tomorrow at the Gault&Millau Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 2024. Find out more about this talent.

Benjamin Breton's two-toque inn on the shores of Lake Geneva impressed our investigators with its"surprising and detonating" cuisine. On Monday February 5, 2024 in Lyon, the chef was awarded the title Grand de demain 2024 at the Gault&Millau Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

A title to share

Benjamin Breton, 30, owns theAuberge de Lucinges and the Bistrot de la Madeleine. Why two addresses on the same site? "Because the configuration of the site lent itself to it, there were interesting synergies and the project was ambitious," confides the chef. At the Auberge de Lucinges, there are no more than 22 seats, a unique 7-sequence menu that changes every six weeks, and a network of around 80 producers. Here, the chef wants to tell the story of his cuisine in a personal way. In three words? "Spontaneous, saucy and committed". Benjamin Breton admits to having a particular weakness for sauces, which you can find in every one of his dishes.

Benjamin Breton is very happy with this title"because a lot of people who have been role models, personally or professionally, have had this title before. It means a lot to me. It's a great reward for the teams. This kind of event (Gault&Millau Tour) brings dynamism, re-invigorates the troops and lets us know that we're on the right track."
