The Head Chef
Glenn Viel – Head Chef Oustau de Baumanière***
Chef at l’Oustau de Baumanière since 2015, Glenn Viel now carries the 3 stars of this gastronomic monument and works with his team to make every guest come to dream. He likes to highlight the product in its most authentic version and is full of ideas and imagination, thus offering a unique experience.
After having tomato dryers installed on the restaurant terraces, he creates with the baker a food and bread agreement by offering different breads with each dish; he has developed a new seasoning system by the concentration of ingredients (celery, mushrooms, langoustines, …) his “seasoning pebbles“.
Breton of origin, he also makes his butter from milk produced at the nearest farm and enlarges the vegetable garden.
Discovering the richness of the terroir also requires collaboration with local artisans. Thus, the tableware of l’Oustau de Baumanière are also the result of great reflection between the Chef and the craftsmen: the dishes created by the ceramist Cécile Cayrol, the blown glass creations of Alban Gaillard…etc.
This year, Glenn and his teams received the “Sustainable Gastronomy” distinction awarded by the Michelin Guide.
