Camille Delcroix 's cuisine? "Above all, it's a cuisine that I want to make. I sincerely believe that you have to please yourself before you can please others", he explains.Today, I'm a chef, but above all I'm a business owner. I support 20 people. That's why the guide's review is so cool. It's gratifying for us as owners, but also for the team," says the chef, who enjoys reminding his staff that they still have to do better than tomorrow!
"Grand de Demain means everything! We still have time, and I don't want to go too fast!" The first year had been challenging for the chef, who sold out lunchtime and evening. Today, he and his teams have managed to get into a cruising rhythm, and it's paying off.
