Cider tasting at Gault&Millau's Atelier du Goût
Cider is a noble beverage with a history stretching back thousands of years, since the Egyptians, and later the Romans, were familiar with juice fermentation. Cider thus appeared throughout the Mediterranean basin at roughly the same time as wine. Cider is made wherever there are apple trees, and today this fermented apple juice has earned its letters of nobility, making it one of the most interesting lightly alcoholic beverages, thanks to the variety and richness of its flavours, derived from the varieties of apples used and the methods of production. As with many farmhouse products, the overall quality of Breton cider is improving. While the reputation of "crêperie cider" served in bowls to tourists is still widespread, it's clear that local initiatives are bearing fruit. Many producers are now finding outlets in the quality foodservice sector. As a result, consumers are becoming more demanding, and producers are naturally committed to quality. For example, Hugo Roellinger, Gault&Millau Chef of the Year 2022, is working hard to promote cider in his restaurants, while Bertrand Larcher's Breizh Café showcases over 50 artisanal ciders. Cidre de Bretagne has been a PGI since 2000, Cornouaille an AOP/AOC, and Royal Guillevic a Label Rouge.

Coup de feu : Margot Duffort

Christophe Bacquié: happy in his farmhouse
He has left behind the enviable comfort of a large kitchen in a large house to open, with his wife Alexandra, a Provencal house with chambres d'hôtes and tables d'hôtes. It's a radical change of gear, and well worth a visit to Les Eydins.
Summer tables, ephemeral tables
It's a time of culinary temptation. In this age of nomadic chefs, we give in to temptation. We'd be wrong to deprive ourselves: these lunches, like these dinners, will only last the space of a summer...

A pastry chef, a scientist, a collaborator
When physics is put to the service of patisserie, the tasting experience becomes as disconcerting as it is delicious. Between the young pastry chef at Onor, Thierry Marx's new restaurant, Pierre Perrin, and physical chemist Raphaël Haumont, researcher at the French Center for Culinary Innovation and professor at Paris-Saclay University, a conversation takes place in which centrifuges, rotary evaporators, ultrasonic tanks and vacuum techniques become the pastry chef's new utensils. Two complementary universes with a common thread: ingredients, understood as close as possible to the molecules that make them up, for a new, committed vision of tomorrow's desserts. High-flying gourmet conversation!
The Nikolaou sisters at work
In the restaurant business, we often work as a family. Between spouses, between parents and children, between brothers or sisters too. This is the case of sisters Dina and Maria Nikolaou, who run Evi Evane, a 2-toque Parisian restaurant serving authentic Greek cuisine, which has over the years added a catering service and four grocery-catering outlets, also in Paris.
