A chef with a passion: (re)discover lentils with François Gagnaire…

Posted on by Giorgia

By Laurence Gounel 

« This product, which is part of the identity of my region, is still often associated with memories of canteens or the army… yet it is a simple product which, when well prepared, brings great finesse and which, in my opinion, derives its nobility from its versatility. »

François Gagnaire

Lentils are just as natural on family tables as they are on Michelin-starred ones. Easy to use, it can be used all year round and its neutrality offers a wide range of possibilities.

Chef François Gagnaire’s secret to twisting its roundness? Star anise, which adds a lovely freshness. But the chef’s audacity comes in three ‘ways’: as grains, when it is served at Anicia ‘s as lentil caviar (in a caviar tin) with a carp crumble worked with mascarpone, fresh ginger, lime and dill; as flour, to make ’homemade’ blinis, galettes and breads; as a purée, when it is blended until it forms the famous lentil pulp that makes a bavaroise (on which a crumble is placed that resembles the volcanic earth that gives it its name), a velouté or to create desserts such as a crème brûlée, a lentil and blueberry tart or a frangipane cake to celebrate the kings.

Through chef François Gagnaire’sinnovative approach to the green Puy lentil, Teritoria underlines its commitment to promoting a gastronomy that celebrates local produce while pushing back the boundaries of culinary creativity. This story illustrates how Teritoria supports a vision of cuisine that is both rooted in the terroir and open to the world, proving that the simplest ingredients can be transformed into exceptional gastronomic experiences.

With Teritoria, discover chefs who transform the everyday into the extraordinary, paying homage to our rich culinary heritage while inviting you to explore new flavours and textures.

Michelin Guide 2024: Teritoria’s Starred Maisons

Posted on by Virginia Giglio

The Michelin Guide 2024 ceremony, an eagerly awaited annual event, celebrates culinary excellence by awarding the famous Michelin stars. This year, the spotlight was on the Centre-Val de Loire region, showcasing its rich and diverse gastronomic heritage.

The Michelin Guide: a Guarantee of Culinary Excellence

Created to honor the finest dining restaurants, the Michelin Guide is based on the expertise of inspectors who assess restaurants according to five criteria: the quality of ingredients, the harmony of flavors, the mastery of culinary techniques, the chef’s personal expression through their cuisine, and the consistency of excellence over time.

The accolades range from one to three stars, with one star recognizing a restaurant that is “very good in its category”, two stars for “inspired and refined cuisine”, and three stars for top-tier chefs at the whose creations are regarded as true works of art.

Teritoria Restaurants Earning a Star:

Chef Mathias Dandine from La Bastide Bourrelly in Cabriès, near Aix-en-Provence, shines with his first Michelin star just one year after the restaurant’s opening. Joining him in this prestigious recognition are also Chef Julien Martin of Château de Collias at Pont du Gard, located between Nîmes and Avignon and Emilie and Thomas Roussey of Moulin de Cambelong in the picturesque Conques-en-Rouergue, Aveyron.

Winter Fruits and Vegetables: Your Seasonal Calendar

Posted on by Virginia Giglio

Seasonal eating plays many roles. By choosing to eat foods according to their natural harvesting period, we adopt a behavior that limits the distances that products travel, reduces the energy required for their production and supports sustainable, local farming practices. This approach not only helps lower our carbon footprint but also preserves local biodiversity, contributing to the protection of our environment. While seasonal cooking undoubtedly delights our taste buds, whether prepared at home or by renowned chefs, it primarily reflects a commitment to the environment.

In light of this, Teritoria has put together a winter fruits and vegetables calendar to help you strike the perfect balance between culinary pleasure and preserving our planet.

Gourmet getaway, for lovers,
in Paris Left Bank

Posted on by Virginia Giglio

From this glorious era, the prestigious school remains, the Latin Quarter known for its liveliness… and a whole cultural side of the city of light! Enough to live unforgettable moments, as a couple, in the City of Love.

Start your journey with a good table!

Paris, and France more generally, is recognized for its gastronomy and its art of the table. Since the creation of restaurants following the French revolution, the number of eating establishments has only grown, and enthusiasts rise early every day to select and work with quality products.

Anicia, Paris left bank lovers

Just steps away from the historic district of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, chef François Gagnaire takes pleasure in cooking these quality products (notably those from the Haute-Loire region) at restaurant Anicia. This highlighting of his work has earned him a plate in the Michelin guide and two toques at Gault et Millau, distinctions that reward his work around products from his native land and products from the Ile-de-France region for a result rich in flavors.

97 rue du Cherche Midi, 75006 Paris

Rest in a haven of peace

The Left Bank of Paris is full of cultural places to visit, on foot, along the magnificent facades, parks and gardens (including the Luxembourg Garden!). Spanning 24 hectares, the Luxembourg Garden is indeed an essential stop for strolling together… or enjoying a coffee break in a natural setting.

Hôtel Le Royal Rive Gauche, Paris left bank lovers

This route will naturally lead you to Hotel Le Royal Rive Gauche, located just a few steps from the garden. This beautiful establishment offers you all the necessary comfort in an elegant environment, ideal for resting. The staff will be at your service to help organize your second day of discovery, perhaps from the hotel’s lounge and maybe accompanied by a glass of wine. The hotel has 48 suites and rooms, all carefully decorated.

212 boulevard Raspail, 75014 Paris

An exceptional restaurant steeped in history

After a day exploring the treasures of the Left Bank (and why not the capital’s famous catacombs, for the more adventurous!), what could be better than dinner in a Parisian institution where time seems to stand still? Just a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Allard perpetuates the soul of the great Parisian bourgeois houses with its sincere, timeless cuisine.

Allard Paris left bank lovers

In a cosy setting where mirrors and wood panelling recall almost a century of history, refinement is achieved through the simplicity of signature dishes, inherited from a culinary tradition where respect for the product is paramount. Founded in 1932 and taken over by Alain Ducasse, this iconic restaurant celebrates French gastronomy at its most authentic. Challans duck with olives, sole meunière and the inevitable gougère soufflé with Comté cheese are all sublimated with generosity and precision.

It’s a place where couples come together to savour a cuisine that speaks to the heart as much as to the taste buds.

181 rue du Château, 75014 Paris

End on an artistic note

After visiting the Luxembourg Garden, the catacombs, the Montparnasse district, the Musée d’Orsay, and the most beautiful stores in southern Paris… You can find calm at Clos Médicis, not far from Boulevard Saint-Germain.

Le Clos Médicis Paris left bank lovers

This building, erected in 1773, is the perfect place to rest, each room offering optimal comfort and careful decoration. Clean lines, flamboyant colors, antique style objects… will win you over during your short stay.

In the evening, after visiting the many nearby art galleries, let yourself be tempted by the beautiful intimate patio or the Bar & Lounge of Clos Médicis.

56 Rue Monsieur le Prince, 75006 Paris

Eco-conscious restaurants: eating well while respecting the planet

Posted on by Virginia Giglio

What is an eco-conscious restaurant?

Eco-conscious does not necessarily mean vegan: to be cooking in a way that is good for both the planet and our health does not necessarily mean that it has to be vegetarian or vegan, but it is a cooking style that offers seasonal and local vegetables on the menu. A restaurant with the eco-conscious label therefore represents a menu offer made from fresh, local products.

Calling on local producers allows us to use short circuits, thereby avoiding long-distance transport, which has a positive impact on the environment. What’s more, using seasonal and local products means that our food is closer to our needs, and our cooking is just as tasty.

Eco-conscious chefs are also committed to avoiding food waste, both on the plates and in the preparation of their menus: reducing waste, recycling peelings… while honouring authentic, local cuisine in the tradition of French cuisine.

Different levels of commitment

There are different levels of commitment for a restaurant to adopt an eco-conscious approach: favouring short circuits, using organic products (organic food and cleaning products), limiting waste and the use of single-use plastics, reducing food waste, and so on. All with the aim of reducing our carbon footprint and our impact on the environment.

Actions to promote eco-conscious gastronomy are being taken all over the world. In Italy, for example, the birth of the Slow Food concept by an Italian culinary journalist, Carlo Petrini, in the 1980s, which is still relevant today, advocates ‘good, clean and fair’ food. In other words, food that is tasty and nutritious, clean and respectful of the environment, and fair for the producer, who is guaranteed a return commensurate with the quality of his produce. The movement was born in opposition to the development of fast food.

Eco-conscious restaurant labels

Restaurants defined as eco-conscious have been awarded a number of labels as part of their sustainable development approach. Obtaining these labels is more than just an affiliation, it represents a genuine commitment by these chefs of French gastronomy.

GREEN FOOD

The Green Food label is awarded to establishments that adhere to the Green food charter. This label, created in 2018 by two people from Nantes, groups together around ten criteria – local/organic products, sorting, ecological products, reuse of organic waste, energy, etc. – on which establishments are assessed. The restaurant must meet at least six of these criteria to be awarded the label.

ECOCERT

Ecocert has been fighting for the environment since 1991. The Ecocert certification is awarded to farmers offering products originated from biological agriculture. In 2013, the Ecocert “in the kitchen” label was created and awarded to restaurants using only organically produced products, as well as to collective catering, with the aim of encouraging local consumption and the preparation of canteen menus using fresh, local and organic products.

ECOTABLE

The Ecotable label rewards and promotes eco-conscious restaurants by awarding them ecotable badges:

– Veg for a 100% vegan restaurant

– Vegg for a 100% vegetarian restaurant

– Bio for a cuisine based essentially on products from organic farming

– F for flexitarian

– WB for Wanna bio, for committed establishments

– L for Locavore: as the name suggests, favouring local products

– Z for Zero waste

– TF for Tupper friendly: for establishments offering doggy bags so that you can take your leftovers home and finish them the next day

– O for Ocean Friendly: for establishments serving seafood products

LE COLLEGE CULINAIRE DE FRANCE

Chaired by Alain Ducasse and Alain Dutournier, the Collège Culinaire de France is a militant community that brings together more than 2,000 restaurants and 1,000 artisan producers. Its aim is to embody a new approach to culinary craftsmanship, one that breaks with the standardisation of production, catering and food. 100% independent, the Collège is financed by the commitment of its members, who contribute one euro a day. It also reveals and promotes the eco-conscious initiatives of its members.

But is it more expensive to eat well?

When we’re talking about the price of sustainable gastronomy, we assume that the bill will definitely end up being very costly. In reality, we pay no more than we would in any other establishment, since the price depends on the quality of the products used and the dishes prepared. With sustainable gastronomy, we eat better and we protect the environment.

A selection of eco-conscious restaurants

Many restaurateurs are concerned about and respect the environment. Increasingly, they favour short circuits and make room for local and/or organic farming. Teritoria invites you to explore the French regions and discover three of them.

In Haut-Rhin, chef Jérôme Jaegle welcomes you to his restaurant, L’Alchémille, in Kaysersberg-Vignoble. A true culinary enthusiast with a family heritage in butchery, he brings fruits and vegetables from his own garden to the table, along with local products from the terroir and nearby producers. At his restaurant, you’ll discover an evolving and inventive cuisine that changes daily with the harvest, bringing fresh, seasonal ingredients from the garden straight to your plate.

In Grignan, in the Drôme, chefs Benjamin Reilhes and Glenn Viel await you at Le Clair de la Plume restaurant. Together, they offer a seasonal menu featuring both gourmet and bistro-style dishes. They are constantly on the lookout for local ingredients to elevate and delight your palate. Their cooking is passionate, creative, and rooted in a commitment to generosity and flavor.

Eating eco-friendly in an eco-conscious restaurant in Occitanie

Eco-conscious gourmet restaurant in Occitanie Cyril Attrazic chez Camillou

Cyril Attrazic, chef of Restaurant Cyril Attrazic Chez Camillou in Aumont-Aubrac, welcomes you to the heart of the Lozère region. His cuisine is deeply inspired by the surrounding landscape, as he’s a native of the Lozèez region, closely rooted with the local life. His creations take you on a journey between tradition and modernity, featuring seasonal vegetables and fresh, local ingredients. His passion has been driving him since 1998, when he took on the role of chef in this family-run establishment, now carried forward through four generations before him.

Conclusion

In conclusion, adopting a responsible approach to our culinary choices is more than a trend—it’s a commitment to our planet. Eco-conscious restaurants, through their sustainable practices and support for local producers, play a crucial role in promoting food that respects both the environment and our health. Teritoria is a valued ally for those seeking to combine gastronomic pleasure with eco-responsibility. By highlighting a selection of dedicated, human-scale establishments across Europe, Teritoria embodies a sustainable approach to hospitality.

One of Teritoria’s strongest commitments, underscoring its role as a pioneer in promoting responsible tourism, is the requirement for all member establishments to calculate their carbon footprint with Clorofil. Choosing a restaurant within the Teritoria community means opting for a culinary experience that celebrates local, seasonal ingredients and sustainable practices, while contributing to a more circular economy that respects local ecosystems.

By subscribing to the Teritoria newsletter and exploring our gift shop, you’re taking another step towards conscious consumption, while delighting your taste buds with authentic, responsible flavours.

On the gastronomic front, Frédéric Claquin, starred chef at the Trois Rochers restaurant, will delight gourmets with his sincere cuisine based on seafood.

In the morning, you can enjoy a generous continental breakfast (with fresh, local produce) from the terrace overlooking the sea, a true delight (for the eyes and the taste buds!).

L’Hôtel du Tumulus, a timeless moment immersed in Breton charm

The Carnac site is a must-see in Quiberon Bay. With over 2,900 menhirs, this site bears witness to our history. The seaside resort of the same name opens its doors and its coastline to travelers in search of authenticity.

The Hôtel du Tumulus is located on the highest point of Carnac, and welcomes you to a unique setting with a breathtaking view of Quiberon and its islands.
