Christophe Hardiquest

Quote:

“Savours and the art of the table belong to the inheritance of each country and even of each region. It depends only on us that the pleasure of eating and of tasting becomes again central in our life.”

Professional History:

Christophe Hardiquest a une étoile. Comme tout le monde. Sauf que lui vient de voir son talent (con)sacré par le guide rouge.

Dans ses murs depuis une grosse année, dans un décor de bistrot chic avec ses boiseries joliment patinées où le pourpre domine les tons. Le comptoir ouvert sur la salle offre son fabuleux spectacle : un ballet de maîtrise joué par une jeune brigade de gens doués et par un chef de 28 ans survolté par le talent et le goût de très bien faire les choses. Très bien faire les choses, c’est donner. Donner des produits beaux, bons et nobles. Donner, c’est préparer ces produits juste assez pour leur laisser leur âme et leur ouvrir une voie vers une évidence gourmande de haut vol. Notre homme assortit ces assiettes en jouant une partition brillante et emmène ses hôtes là où nombre de cuisiniers n’emmèneront jamais.

Christophe Hardiquest a une étoile. Christophe Hardiquest est une étoile.

Olivier Martin

Quote:

“La cuisine n’est pas du tout la chose terre à terre que l’on croit. On peut y mettre toute la science possible dans la préparation d’un plat ; s’il y manque l’amour, jamais il n’atteindra cette perfection qu’est le PLAISIR de la table. C’est cet amour et ce plaisir qui nous stimulent à rechercher de nouveaux arômes, goûts et mariages pour que la cuisine évolue avec son temps.”

Jacky Chartier

Quote:

“Donner nous de beaux produits, nous ferons le reste tout simplement.”

Professional History:

Jacky Chartier is passionate about food.

He is a Breton through and through, the first graduate of the newly established hotel school at Dinard.  He served his apprenticeship along that wild and lovely coast of fishermen; in Saint Cast, in the old fortified port of Saint Malo and in Cancale, home of the renowned oysters.  So naturally fish and seafood are the produce he likes best to exercise his talent on.

Chance brought Jacky to Brussels and, a little later in 1982, he found himself working for Michel Theurel.  One of Theurel’s great talents is the making of chefs and Jacky occupied all the positions before becoming his right hand man as First Assistant Executive Chef.  An inventive craftsman, he made a significant contribution to the award of a Michelin star to La Maison du Boeuf in 1992.
