Flocons de Sel Megeve is a three Michelin star restaurant located in the town of Megeve in the French Alps. This restaurant was founded in 1998 by a famous chef named Emmanuel Renaut and has been a famous culinary destination around the world for more than two decades.
The History And Philosophy Of The Flocons De Sel
Emmanuel Renaut started his career as a chef in Paris before moving to the beautiful mountainous region around Megeve in 1998. He opened the Flocons de Sel restaurant as a personal project, with the aim of creating a unique and memorable culinary experience that reflects the beauty of the natural surroundings.
With his eco-friendly culinary philosophy and deep respect for local ingredients, Emmanuel Renaut even sources his food in the surrounding mountains, forests, and valleys. He was also not careless in cultivating it. He uses traditional cooking techniques to create dishes that showcase the natural beauty of these ingredients.
In a short time, this restaurant gained international recognition and started to attract the attention of gourmets around the world. In 2006, Flocons de Sel was awarded three Michelin stars, which ranks it among the best restaurants in the world.
