Martin MOURISSON

Sommelier : 1 restaurant With his partner Jimmy Wintz, cocktail expert Martin Mourisson runs one of the most dynamic young restaurants in the Lorraine capital.

Presentation

As is the case with many young people questioning their choice of career path, Martin Mourisson was not viscerally convinced by the BTS in industrial maintenance to which he had committed himself. To finance his studies, this baker's son began working as a bartender in several establishments in Metz.

In 2022, Martin Mourisson joined forces with Jimmy Wintz to open La Station .

"That's how the Station adventure began. For several years now, I'd been thinking about opening my own restaurant, where I'd work in the dining room.But of course I had to find the chef who could join me in this adventure."It was during his stint at Cerise, where he was working as a bartender, that Martin Mourisson met Jimmy Wintz, who was working in the kitchen. The two men hit it off, and the barbecue restaurant Martin had been eyeing for two or three years, tucked away in a little cul-de-sac near the Moselle river, came up for sale. "It was a supplier who alerted us that the business was available. We acquired it in 2022 and, after a few administrative twists and turns and some refurbishment work, we welcomed our first customers at the beginning of 2023" .

La Station boasts an attractive cocktail menu

Renowned for the quality of its cocktails (signed by Martin Mourisson, of course) and its (small) cellar focusing on local appellations and natural wines, La Station has quickly found its clientele, thanks also to the simple, gourmet dishes delivered by Jimmy Wintz .
