Aymeric Depogny

RESTAURANT L’EPICURIEN*

Aymeric left the Le Relais Bernard Loiseau **, formerly La Cote-d'Or, as sous chef six months ago. He embarked on a new adventure as first chef of restaurant L'Epicurien, located in the stately historic building L'Abbaye de Villeneuve in Les Sorinières. Last March, L'Epicurien, managed by Aymeric, received a Michelin star.

Imainly work with local products from the Nantes region. I like to keep ingredients in their original form, respect the seasons and put together a dish that is an ode to different flavours."

"I believe a good chef works in a tidy kitchen, has genuine passion for his craft and, above all, has a great imagination."

"In my spare time, I do a lot of sports and enjoy going out into nature to, for example, go fishing."

"My dream came true the moment I became first chef here. Pampering guests and making sure they are happy to come back are my main goals. Getting this star is of course another dream come true for me!"
