The chef from the Arbore & Sens restaurant in Loches was awarded the title of Grand de Demain at the Gault&Millau Tour Centre-Val de Loire & Pays de la Loire.

" It's heartwarming, it feels good, and I'd even go so far as to say that it gives us the impetus to go even further ! "Clément Dumont, Touraine chef at Arbore & Sens (3 toques), was named Grand of Tomorrow 2024 at the Gault&Millau Tour Centre-Val de Loire & Pays de la Loire. The event was held on Monday April 8, 2024 at the Château du Parc Saint Lambert near Angers.

The restaurant's history

Open for four years, Arbore & Sens was created as a family venture, with chef Clément Dumont's partner and sister-in-law. " Originally from Chinon, my dream was to open a restaurant close to my family and where I grew up, to have a restaurant on land that spoke to me. I met my partner on the other side of the world, but her sister is from Loches, in the same area as my family. This project made sense for both of us. "

With a score of 15/20, the Guide Jaune refers to a " cuisine [that] places the product and the natural at the center of the plate. "And that's just what the chef and his team wanted. "We wanted something that was connected to nature, a very plant-based cuisine. We're big fans of foraging, plants and herbs. "Admittedly, the restaurant is located in the city, but Clément Dumont and his associates wanted an address with an air of the countryside and nature. So, what's on the menu? Local cuisine, where the playground is the Centre-Val de Loire and Touraine to be precise.

A distinction that motivates

" I've always wanted to be a chef, so I've always followed guides like Gault&Millau. Les Grands de Demain made me dream and I looked at them with big eyes. So to get this award today takes me back into those memories. "This award is proof positive that we must allow ourselves to dream and aim high. All the personal investment Clément Dumont and his family have made has now been rewarded, and we congratulate them! The award was presented by Robur, a specialist in professional clothing.
