In the restaurant business, we often work as a family. Between spouses, between parents and children, sometimes between brothers and/or sisters too. Such is the case with brothers Alain and Jean-Michel Llorca, one a chef, the other a pastry chef, who have rarely left each other's side. Although in the shadow of his elder brother, the pastry chef has been at the chef's side throughout the major stages of his prestigious career: at the Hotel Negresco, the Moulin de Mougins and, of course, at his establishment in La Colle-sur-Loup, a stone's throw from Saint-Paul-de-Vence, where, since 2009, the 3-Toque chef has been continuing his interpretation of Provençal cuisine.
