Mathieu Guibert,
thelocal
The son of a farmer, he grew up just a stone’s throw from here, with both feet firmly planted on this land. Mathieu Guibert is a local, and for as long as he can remember, he has always wanted to be a chef.
As a true connoisseur of his region, Mathieu Guibert shares tales of adventures on the high seas at his table—stories about those who move heaven and earth to produce the very best. These are stories where people move forward hand in hand, where every gesture counts, and where the region reveals itself as much through its flavors as through its stories.
A Story of Men and Women
At every stage of his journey, Mathieu Guibert finds motivation, inspiration, and energy from those around him. First and foremost, his parents, from whom he learned the joy of sharing and the deep satisfaction that comes from bringing joy to others.
But also the chefs he has encountered throughout his career: Franck Putelat, Yannick Alléno, Christian Le Squer, Philippe Mille... Each, in his own way, has helped shape his character and his vision as a chef.
Moving Forward Together
Cooks, chefs, dishwashers, fishermen, sommeliers, pastry chefs, market gardeners, maître d’s, head waiters, livestock farmers, kitchen assistants, shellfish farmers, housekeepers, receptionists…
Mathieu Guibert takes everyone he meets along the way with him.
While he sometimes draws on his own vision to guide them, he also draws inspiration from each and every one of them—from their expertise, their stories, their actions, and their dedication. He carries this profound sense of humanity within him and knows that behind every plate, every room, and every service, there are, above all, these women and men...
His cooking, the sea, the scent of the sea
While people inspire the chef, the region writes its own story, and it is in the kitchen that we come to read this moving tale. A plunge into the sea, a wave of intense, raw, and sincere emotion.
The chef’s cuisine is, above all, about flavor—the flavor of a sauce, the flavor of a cockle, a fish, a herb, a vegetable, a spice, the flavor of salt, iodine, seaweed… the flavor of the sea.
