Julien Gatillon opens not one but two new restaurants in Megève
Julien Gatillon opened two new restaurants, YOU and ANATA, in Megève on Thursday November 30. Discover the world of these two restaurants, located in the same building.
As the saying goes, "never two without three"! After opening their first restaurant, NOUS, in Megève in 2020, Julien and Sonia Gatillon inaugurated two new addresses in the heart of the village on November 30, 2023. Their names? YOU and ANATA, two projects with a similar guiding principle, but very distinct universes.
YOU and ANATA in Megève
The couple are opening not one, but two restaurants in one go. "Three years after our first restaurant, we wanted to expand. We moved into a former hardware store called Poil de Carottes. It'sa place well known to Mégevans!" explains Julien Gatillon, named Grand de Demain in 2016 by Gault&Millau.
For both addresses, Julien Gatillon relies on a small team of collaborators, with whom he previously worked at the Four Seasons in Megève. At VOUS, he has surrounded himself with maître d'hôtel Paul Martin and chef Jean Pastre, to offer French gourmet cuisine "with straightforward, clear tastes, designed to magnify the products". "The space features an open kitchen with a large counter that can seat up to 14 people. Upstairs is ANATA ("you" in Japanese), a mezzanine with an open kitchen and a 12-seat counter, in the spirit of omakase. "I was lucky enough to go to Japan for two months in 2016. I immersed myself in the restaurants at lunchtime and had dinner in the evening. I discovered an enormous number of concepts, and it was a great source of inspiration for me," explains Julien Gatillon, who trusts Keiji Ishii and Yohan Delhommeau to keep the offering up to date. "You can discover Japanese techniques with broths, marinated fish, tempura, Japanese barbecue... At VOUS as at ANATA, the menu will be unique."
As a reminder, Julien and Sonia Gatillon's first restaurant, NOUS, is a very personal address. The chef and his wife welcome guests directly into their chalet home, and offer a unique menu for a single reservation of two to twelve guests. As with this table d'hôtes, the chef would like to open YOU and ANATA year-round, to make his cuisine accessible, even out of season.
Practical information:
- NOUS, 206 impasse de la Madone, 74120 Megève
- ANATA, 36 rue Saint-François, 74120 Megève
- YOU, 36 rue Saint-François, 74120 Megève
