Ludovic Turac, chef at Marseille's Une Table au Sud restaurant, reveals the names of five producers and artisans where you can buy delicious asparagus, wine and decorative items.
Ludovic Turac, talented chef at Marseille's Une Table au Sud restaurant (3 toques), is much more than a virtuoso in the kitchen. Committed to the quality of his products and the authenticity of his flavors, he maintains close relationships with his producers and artisans, who are the real driving forces behind his culinary success. Today, he opens the doors of his world to us, revealing the names of those who accompany him in his quest for excellence, from passionate market gardeners to ceramists and olive growers.
The creations of ceramist Julien Truchon, in Patrimonio
Julien Truchon is a craftsman with whom Ludovic Turac has worked extensively. "He does tableware and decoration. In the restaurant, we use his water glasses and plates, but above all he has created a work called Sardines. It's 250 small handmade sardines, covered in gold leaf and then placed to create an entire work on display in the restaurant. It's impressive!"

Wine from Domaine Castell-Reynoard, La Cadière d'Azur
"I really like Julien Castell's work. He's an atypical winemaker, very sensitive and passionate... I'd even say he's an artist! His wines are very precise, especially the rosé, which he vinifies like a red wine", explains Ludovic Turac, who adds that he recently took his restaurant team to meet the winemaker to help them better understand his philosophy.

Xavier Alazard's oils, in Arles
When it comes to olive oil, the Marseille chef trusts Xavier Alazard of Le Carré des Huiles in Arles. "In particular, we collaborated to create an oil together, using matured olives. His oils are exceptional and almost spicy, which goes great with my cooking", he enthuses.

The creations of Amanite-Chloé, Marseille
To decorateUne Table au Sud, Ludovic Turac also called on Amanite Chloé, who owns a small boutique in Marseille. "She made all my centerpieces, as well as small octopuses. Customers are rarely insensitive to her creations and ask us lots of questions as soon as they arrive," he assures us.

Sylvain Erhardt's asparagus, in Sénas
The chef at Une Table au Sud is eagerly awaiting spring to cook asparagus from Sylvain Erhardt at Domaine de Roques-Hautes. "His asparagus is incredible, truly magnificent. I often compliment him by telling him that he's created a lazy product, because when we receive them, there's almost nothing to do. Good cooking, good seasoning, and that's enough," he laughs. "His green asparagus is fleshy, very tasty and not stringy at all!"
