“Native from the Reunion, I arrived in Metropolitan France in 2001. I have worked amongst chefs such as Paul BOCUSE, Yannick ALLENO, Christian LHERM, Marcel RAVIN, before taking my place as chef at the Bagnols Castle in Beaujolais, where I have obtained a Michelin star in 2016.
Ma passion can be resumed by a deep respect of produce, carefully selected from small producers. I create a hearty, generous cuisine with a pinch of exoticism and compose my menus according to the inspiration the places I work at give me, with a profound respect for traditions.”
– Jean-Alexandre OUARATTA
