C
hristophe Renaud - now here’s a chef that we really like!
First and foremost, he’s absolutely passionate about his
restaurant and his cooking. But in addition to being
immensely talented, he’s also remarkably kind.
Back in the day, in 2008, he took up the position as head chef
when he opened la Coquillade, a luxury hotel in the Luberon.
He learned everything he knows there, and was awarded his first
Michelin star in 2011.
Renaud worked for 9 years at la Coquillade before opening his
own restaurant in Isle sur la Sorgue, in 2018. He named his
very cheffy bistro Renaud’Mets. (Chef Renaud has combined his
last name with a French word for dishes - mets - to create his
restaurant’s name. It translates loosely as “Renaud’s Dishes” but
also sounds, in French, like the word for famous - renommé. It’s
a delightful play on words for French speakers!)
This is a restaurant where everyone feels welcome; its aim is to
offer the best possible food at affordable prices.
Christophe Renaud only uses the freshest of ingredients, with
local and seasonal produce. It goes without saying that the bistro
is committed to being environmentally friendly.
In recognition of his talent, he was awarded the title of Maître
Restaurateur in 2019. His cooking is richly flavoured, yet fresh
and delicate.
At the bistro, chef Renaud has introduced the concept of sharing
plates - 3-5 dishes that you can order just for yourself, or for the
table to share.
There’s salad, tempura, velouté, chickpea spread (poichissade),
confit of veal ... and it’s all delicious!
The menu offers myriad wines from all over, as well as plenty of
local, natural wines that have been lovingly selected.
We urge you to try this really innovative and tasty cuisine for
yourselves!
