Le Bistrot Français, part of the prestigious hospitality associations Relais & Châteaux, has started a collaboration with Chef Tom Meyer, one of the most appreciated French cooks, awarded by the Michelin guide and holding the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France. Starting Monday, March 3, the restaurant’s menu will bear his signature, marking a special moment for Romanian gastronomy.
Chef Tom Meyer said, "Le Bistrot Français is a place with soul, elegance, and a genuine passion for fine dining. I am honored to contribute to this design and bring my view to Bucharest. The menu celebrates the wealth of the French kitchen, refreshed with modern notes. I look forward to sharing this culinary journey with our guests."
“This is a really special moment for gastronomy in Romania, to have the privilege of collaborating with a two-Michelin-starred chef in creating the new spring menu. Tom Meyer’s experience, discipline, and creativity take Le Bistrot Français to an unprecedented level, reinforcing our commitment to offer the most refined culinary experience in Romania and providing a favorable pretext for the Michelin guide to come to our country," added Cristian Preotu, the founder and CEO of Le Manoir Group.
Through this collaboration, Le Bistrot Français becomes the only restaurant in Romania that offers a menu signed by a chef with such recognition from the Michelin guide, consolidating its position as a pioneer in local fine-dining gastronomy. Chef Meyer will work closely with Executive Chef Sorin Miftode to translate his vision into an exceptional culinary experience, where French tradition meets modern innovation.
Chef Tom Meyer – A French Gastronomic Visionary
A reference name in the gastronomy universe, Chef Tom Meyer has built an impressive career, working in some of the most renowned restaurants in France. A student of the legendary Anne-Sophie Pic, Meyer has shown his craftsmanship at Granite, Paris, where he got his first Michelin star only six months after opening and, later, at La Chèvre d'Or on the French Riviera. In these restaurants, he outlined his innovative culinary style, based on the perfect balance between the classical French techniques and modern influences.
The recognition received from the Michelin guide and the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2023, as well as winning the Taittinger International Culinary Prize and reaching the final of the Bocuse D'Or competition, are undeniable evidence of his exceptional talent and unique approach to gastronomy. His coming to Le Bistrot Français marks a defining moment for the Romanian culinary scene, bringing a new dimension of excellence in fine dining.
