About Chef Nicolas Durif – 

Born in Alsace, his passion for cooking comes from his grandmother. From an early age, he demonstrates his talents at the service of renowned institutions in Strasbourg. He worked at the George V in Paris and after a passage in the South of France, where he drew a part of his inspiration for his cuisine, he settles in Charente-Maritime and adopts the local and sea products. After working under Christopher Coutanceau (2 Michelin Star Chef), he opened his restaurant L’Hysope in 2015. Alsace remains present in his cuisine, particularly with the spices and herbs, including hyssop an aromatic plant that sublimates his dishes and the name he chose for this restaurant. Chef Nicolas Durif was awarded the Gault & Millau in 2017 with the Nouvelle Aquitaine Hope Trophy. He won his first Michelin Star in 2018.
