Jérôme JOUADÉ
Chef : 1 restaurant Jérôme Jouadé, a Breton chef from Ille-et-Vilaine, has been at the helm of La Table des Pères in Piré-Chancé for the past ten years, expressing his passion for local cuisine rooted in Brittany.The grandson of farmers on both his father's and mother's sides , Jérôme Jouadé always intended to become a chef, whose favorite question as a child was, unsurprisingly,"What time is dinner?"However, just as he was considering a work-study program when he left secondary school, the future chef of Château des Pères listened to his older brother, who worked seasons to pay for his studies and reported some difficult moments in the kitchen. "I then opted for classical studies, convinced that this general knowledge would serve me well later on", he recounts.
Learning the fish trade before opening Le Bruit qui Court
His school vacations and weekends were mostly spent doing extra work in a restaurant in Bain-de-Bretagne, the town where he lived, before he left to spend seasons in Porto-Vecchio and Guadeloupe, with his future wife. "We came back after a year and I opened Léon Le Cochon in Pacé, with the same owner as the one in Rennes. "
Realizing that he had gaps in his knowledge of fish, Jérôme took a six-month break to work with fishmongers before opening Le Bruit qui Court, in Chateaugiron. "In 2015, we sold the establishment and I joined the Legendre family at Château des Pères.They gave me time to make my mark, to build the identity of the place with them, and it wasn't until the end of the pandemic that I really hit my stride. " Two toques soon followed, before a third in 2025, accompanied by a lovely Terroir d'Exception trophy for Brittany .
