One Evening, One Chef, Dario Michaud

Dario. Kindness, craft, mastery of his cooking and of himself, a quiet strength. Very Escoffier and, at the same time, a true reinvention of Mauritian cuisine, never betraying it, only making it more beautiful.

Dario is one of those people I am incredibly lucky to have around me. He reached out to me in June 2022, before the first stone of my restaurant had even been laid, and he has kept up with the project ever since. For a long time we spoke formally to one another, because we share the same gentleness. He is Mauritian, I am Indian, so many roots in common.

I love his cooking, and I am moved to find in it the spices and parathas of my own origins. It is, once again, an infinite joy to work, for one evening, alongside a friend.
