Chef Yohan Fatela
A new chapter in gastronomy for the Hôtel Royal
At the Hôtel Royal, a place where refinement is not adornment but a guiding belief, dining is about to experience one of those landmark moments. After twenty five years of gastronomy written by the same hand, a new signature now comes into its own. That of Chef Yohan Fatela. Born in Grenoble, and driven by an innate thirst for learning and exploring new places. With a rare and remarkable international career to his name, forged at leading hotels and a palace hotel, symbols of world cuisine at its very best, he now comes to write a new chapter of the hotel’s culinary excellence.
Yet it all began in a garden, that of his grandparents, who were farmers, where produce was picked, respected and remained true to itself. This guiding principle of integrity towards the produce, and to the person who receives it – forms the basis of his cuisine, with technical expertise serving the true nature of the produce, never for show. Curious by nature, a traveller by vocation, the chef crafts creations inspired as much by local artisans as by influences gleaned from around the globe. The seasons set the tempo, the produce adds the voice, and each dish aspires to offer the rare delight of a moment experienced fully, one of emotion, without being ostentatious.
His vision embraces the full breadth of the Hôtel Royal’s culinary world – its restaurants, Les Fresques and La Véranda, from the first coffee of the morning to the gourment interludes throughout the day. An epicurean at heart, he instills each space with genuine warmth free from any formality: bread to be broken by hand rather than sliced, special attention given to younger guests, these countless details that make a difference, because they are heartfelt. In this way, the hotel continues its legacy - with the quiet grace of an epicureanism that is generous, open-minded, and profoundly true to the hotel’s spirit.
The Hot Drinks Ritual
At Les Fresques restaurant, the dining experience extends far beyond the plate. After the meal, teas, herbal teas and coffees form part of a ritual thoughtfully crafted down to the smallest detail.
A selection of teas and natural herbal infusions, notably from Chic des Plantes!, reveals the full subtlety of the botanicals and aromas. The coffee, sourced from Montagne Cafés in Vacheresse, is prepared in front of the guests.
This final touch of service extends the gastronomic experience at Les Fresques right through to the very last moments of the dinner.
