Michel Bras:

A visionary and a pioneer, there are many reasons why Michel BRAS was named the 'most influential chef in the world’ by 528 Michelin-starred chefs from around the world, in a 2016 article of gastronomy magazine [Le CHEF].
40 years earlier, in 1978, Gault & Millau featured the young Michel as a 'great historical discovery' after visiting an auberge in Laguiole village. Today, the unique cooking style which Michel has developed on his own, has not only influenced Western cuisine as a whole, but also the art of plating. His signature dessert known as Coulant, developed around the same time, has become the iconic dessert dish for French style restaurants around the world.

The most significant milestone was the way he elevated the modest vegetables from a mere side, to one of the mainstays of gastronomy. Close collaboration with local producers in Aubrac region, and commitment to local production for local consumption, are also major pioneering choices made by Michel. Vegetables and herbs being grown in restaurant gardens, to be added to the daily menu, is another of his early initiatives that went a long way, before becoming a global practice.

Son Sébastien Bras took over the chef position from his father, and has brilliantly maintained his three Michelin stars for the following ten years, without interruption. Then, having accomplished this feat, he chose to follow the path of his heart, with a cuisine and service that reflect his personal convictions, free of constraint. Since relinquishing his Michelin stars, his priority today is to offer the best according to his own values, out of respect for his customers who have made the journey for a table in Laguiole. Father and son have never stopped exploring their own path, and in which they believe. The Bras are not satisfied with just valuing the end product, because the process is just as important. Their deep attachment to tools comes from this natural conviction. Tools are the key to the vast universe of cooking, where their expectations are naturally high, and where no compromise could be made.
