The 4-toque Gault&Millau chef has announced his departure from the Mandarin Oriental Paris in a press release sent to the editor. Here are the reasons for his decision.

It's all over! After more than 10 years of loyal service in the kitchens of the Parisian palace, Thierry Marx has decided to leave the Mandarin Oriental Paris. In a letter addressed to Marc Esquerré, director of Gault&Millau surveys, the chef said he was"informing usof his official departure from Restaurant Sur mesure and the Mandarin Oriental Group after 14 years of collaboration."

Why is Thierry Marx leaving Mandarin Oriental?

The reason for this decision? The chef wishes to"fully pursue the development of his Onor restaurant." In the press release attached to the letter, the chef explains that this choice represents"the finality of 25 years of work on a different economy, with a social and environmental impact. It'stherefore the right time to grow the Onor 'label'."

Indeed, at his address 258 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris, the chef works every day to bring to life responsible, sustainable gastronomy that respects products - with the Bleu-Blanc-Cœur label in particular - and the environment more generally. The establishment also makes a point of including people with professional difficulties. 20% of his teams come from the Cuisine mode d'emploi(s) schools he founded.

Naturally, Thierry Marx did not fail to express his gratitude to the Mandarin Oriental Paris for the experience he has had in France, but also in Asia. "I warmly thank Édouard Ettedgui, Christophe Mares, David Nicholls and Philippe Leboeuf, my teams and my loyal customers for their ongoing support."
