10 questions were asked about the trip to the Michelin-starred chef., Thomas Boullault.
Immersed in the world of gastronomy from a young age, this great chef always wanted to make his passion his profession. And he has succeeded! Thanks to his boldness, he decided to try his luck in Paris after his studies. He very quickly obtained a position in the brigade at George V, where he discovered palace cuisine.
It was in 2007 that everything changed for Thomas Boullault, when he met Eric Martins, who offered him the position of head chef of the’Aroma. In 2009, at the age of 28, the young chef earned a star for his restaurant, just as he had hoped. Challenge accomplished, and he doesn't plan on stopping there!
Today, the chef offers his customers cuisine that reflects him, where each creation has meaning. With a very personal menu, he blends balance and flavors.
