About Régis Marcon

Bocuse d’Or in 1995 and acclaimed with three Michelin stars, Régis Marcon embodies an entire story of fine French dining. More than a style or a period, his cuisine symbolizes his own story. In the department of Ardèche, in the region of Auvergne, between Velay and Vivarais, Régis Marcon found the roots of his cuisine in a familiar and family territory. Since taking over the family-run hotel restaurant in 1979, and never leaving his cocoon in Saint-Bonnet-le-Froid, Régis Marcon became one of the greatest chefs of our time, by highlighting his regional products such as mushrooms and green Puy lentils.

 

About Mathieu Viannay

Two Michelin-starred chef Mathieu Viannay has always been a gourmet. A lover of delicate flavours, he handles local products with success. Winner of the Meilleur Ouvrier de France award in 2004, he revisits traditional recipes in a contemporary twist. So it was only natural, that, like a spiritual son, he took over Eugenie Brazier’s cult restaurant “la Mère Brazier”, which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year. Mathieu Viannay also signs the menu of the “Trente et Un” restaurant at the hotel Portopia in Kobe, Japan, giving it an inimitable French touch. He also coordinates the 12 catering outlets of the travel department at the Samaritaine store in Paris.

About the Servair Culinary Studio

Created in November 2009 and chaired by Régis Marcon, the Servair Culinary Studio brings together Michelin-starred chefs and culinary experts to raise the quality standards of deferred catering and transpose the codes of haute cuisine to in-flight meals for travellers all around the world. Its mission is also to identify trends and innovations to optimise the dishes designed by the chefs at Servair, Air France's partner and leader in in-flight catering in France and Africa.
