The new Head chef of the Abbaye de Talloires is Georges RINGEISEN!
Georges Ringeisen, is born in Alsace as a son of farmer. He is very attached to the earth and enthusiast of cooking since his youngest age. Open spirit allied to a thirst to learn as well as culinary and cultural curiosity without border, pushed him, very young, to work abroad.
However he has never lost his solidly anchored roots. His cooking reflects his love of the nature, the changes according to the seasons, the respect for the work of the fields as well as his passion for the beautiful local products, in all generosity, honesty and modesty.
His dishes are invented to show and emphasize the essential: the work of the men who allowed obtaining the taste and the texture of the used raw materials.
Aromatic herbs from the Garden, the endemic wild plants come to refine his dishes in the solid structure. While reading the menu, a small exotic touch of spices or an unusual marriage of flavors, are many trivial reminders of his numerous journeys.
The virtues of what we eat are always reflected on our well-being. His cuisine is more than a pleasure, it is an intimate sharing. It is a perpetual evolution, a constant search of the harmony and of the perfect balance between the food and the flavors.
Georges Ringeisen is assisted by our Second-in-command William Gaugain and Pastry Chef Nathalie Maby who assure, with their teams, the service to the big pleasure of our customers.
