Presentation

He is not yet 30, but with his partner and business associate Lucy Rosedale, Noé Viviès has already lived several restaurateur’s lives. “My father worked in sailing, he helped organise the Route du Rhum and was also Olivier de Kersauson’s shipowner. With the Admiral, he opened Le Tour du Monde at the Moulin Blanc harbour in Brest, a restaurant where I cut my teeth as a teenager.”

From Amsterdam to Hong Kong, learning through travel

Used to moving around, the young Breton settled in Amsterdam to study hotel and restaurant management and quickly realised that cooking was what excited him, working in local bistros to fund his studies. “Degree in hand, I left for Hong Kong and Amber, one of the city’s best restaurants, where the chef was Dutch. I stayed just over two years before returning to France during Covid.” He then joined the We Are Ona collective, took part in events all over the world and met Lucy, with whom he spent two years in Japan as chef-in-residence.

Jozy, a Rennes table on the rise

“The idea of settling in Brittany came to us quite quickly. Rennes was a logical choice, a city full of energy with lots of producers nearby, which lets us work with whole animals that we share with Fezi, Cédric Bruneau’s restaurant just across the street.” Opened in September 2025, Jozy (2 toques) works only with small producers and follows the seasons closely, while Lucy Rosedale, sommelier and restaurant manager, looks after the welcome. Starting with four people, the team had grown to eight six months later. On 1 June 2026, Noé Viviès received the Jeune Talent trophy at the Gault&Millau Tour Bretagne.
