APRIL 2025
This year, Lavorel Hotels is celebrating a prestigious milestone: Le Chabichou marks 40 years of holding two Michelin stars. An exceptional journey that reflects the commitment, craftsmanship, and passion that define this remarkable establishment and its chef, Stéphane Buron.
A Commitment to Excellence
Since joining Le Chabichou in 1987, Stéphane Buron has established himself as a leading figure in fine dining. Trained with the best, from Cannes to the Élysée Palace and across the United States, he has built a culinary identity where precision brings out the best in every ingredient. “Simplicity is the art of perfection,” he often says, reflecting his philosophy: to focus on the essentials, highlight the authenticity of flavours, and create a unique experience for every guest.
A Cuisine Bridging Tradition and Japanese Influences
Rooted in the Savoy region, Stéphane Buron enriches his craft with a deep sensitivity drawn from Japanese culture. In every dish, you’ll find his pursuit of balance and purity: a profound respect for the ingredients, meticulous attention to detail, and a delicate harmony of flavours. At Le Chabichou, each meal is much more than just a menu; it is a gastronomic journey, a true sensory immersion, where every bite tells a story.
A Legacy Preserved and Looking Towards the Future
Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2004 and winner of the First Prize Taittinger International, Stéphane Buron never stops innovating while staying true to the values that have made Le Chabichou renowned. His commitment goes beyond awards; it is reflected in his strong desire to pass on his knowledge. Working closely with his team and the young talents he nurtures, he continues the tradition of excellence that has made the restaurant shine for decades.
40 Years of Two Stars: A Source of Pride for Lavorel Hotels
Four decades after its first recognition, Le Chabichou still shines brightly among the stars of gastronomy. This recognition highlights the daily dedication of a chef and a team who, with passion and precision, continue to elevate the dining experience to the highest level.
A huge congratulations to Stéphane Buron and his entire team for their talent, dedication, and commitment.
