René Mathieu is an inspiring chef that loves what he does and creates the most sophisticated vegetarian experiences of our generation. He is the head chef at the restaurant “La Distillerie” which is in a 12^th-century castle in Luxembourg, and got awarded as the world best vegetables & fruits restaurant in 2020. As one of the “untouchable plant-based chefs” he shares a deep passion for nature and draws his inspiration from the marvellous beauty of our green planet by indulging in outdoor encounters, which he illustrates and refines in his stunning seasonal dishes.

“Our philosophy is to create desire. By gestures, different tastes, different looks, words and sounds. My kitchen is like an adventure, a treasure hunt, with lots of respect for our nature and the product itself.”
