Prestigious Establishments That Shaped My Journey
THE MORIS CHAPTER
Three Years running my Restaurant in Cucuron
After several years working in prestigious establishments, I felt the desire to bring a more personal vision of my cuisine to life.
That vision became reality with the opening of MORIS, my own restaurant in the charming village of Cucuron, in the heart of the Luberon.
For three wonderful years, MORIS was far more than just a restaurant. It became a place where people gathered, shared special moments and discovered a cuisine inspired by passion, generosity and the seasons.
This experience allowed me to fully express my culinary identity while building lasting relationships with a loyal local clientele, founded on trust, authenticity and a shared love of exceptional food.
MY CULINARY PHILOSOPHY TODAY
Seasonal, Inspired and Authentic Cuisine
Today, my cuisine reflects my journey, my roots and the many influences that have shaped me.
I work exclusively with fresh, seasonal ingredients, carefully selected from trusted local producers whenever possible.
Provence inspires me every day — through its aromatic herbs, vibrant vegetables, abundant sunshine and unmistakable flavours.
These local influences are enriched by the techniques, experiences and culinary inspiration I have gathered throughout my travels and my career in fine dining.
My philosophy is simple: to create elegant, authentic and vibrant cuisine, where every ingredient, every flavour and every detail has a purpose.
