La Bagatelle
From Tuesday to Friday lunchtime, the Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant makes way for our bistronomic restaurant.
Between Joël Césari and David Zuddas exists the bond of a 30-year friendship that time cannot undo.
With its crunchy vegetables, sun-kissed fruit, fragrant fresh herbs, minerally wines, there's no doubt that summer packs a punch. At La Chaumière, under the aegis of talented Jura chef Joël Césari, the best of the season is brought to your table. Sunshine on the menu.
As a source of inspiration and a land of unstinting hospitality, Morocco is in the genes of the Césari family. Mr Césari, the father, spent part of his working life there in the 1950s, unconsciously leaving the legacy of the sun in Joël's DNA. For 20 years now, the chef of La Chaumière has been passing on the joy of Morocco to his family.
While he initially flirted with the savoury side of the kitchen, he ultimately found redemption in sugar. Alexandre Mathey is one of those individuals who has built his career on hard work. A tireless individual, the pastry chef at La Chaumière pursues his passion with unwavering devotion, producing desserts that exude exquisiteness. Portrait
“Some music brings back memories and connects us with our past.” For Joël Césari, music is more than just notes: it is a moment in life, a journey, an emotion. A cappella-style interview with the chef of La Chaumière.
He declares loud and clear on his voicemail that Joël Césari is a "Jurassian chef". With his deep-rooted origins, the chef puts the whole of the Jura on the menu of La Chaumière. His is a close-up on a region that regales as much as it seduces, a veritable open-air pantry.
Joël Césari, the artist. While his colourful orange, red and two-tone spectacles reveal his originality at a glance, his creativity is undoubtedly inspired by the Jura region. A land of lakes, forests, mountains and vegetable gardens, this chef born and settled in Dole finds inspiration in his region, but above all in its raw ingredients that he transforms to perfection. Let's take a closer look at a brilliantly audacious chef.
The daffodils are flaunting their golden heads, the violets are dancing in the meadows and the sun is already warming the landscapes of the Jura. In Pasteur's hometown, Joël Césari invites a taste of spring into his dishes. Vegetables and herbs add colour to a menu that plays on delectable combinations of fresh flavours. Come savour the seasons at La Chaumière.
A portrait of a town much-loved by our chef, born and settled in Dole
Born in Dole, the chef of La Chaumière, Joël Césari, is strongly attached to his roots and pours them into his cooking. A town steeped in art and history, clinging to the slopes of a limestone hillside, Dole has weathered the centuries, passing from Germanic, Burgundian, Spanish and French hands. A town with a rich heritage, the birthplace of Louis Pasteur and the adopted home of French novelist, Marcel Aymé, Dole lifts the veil on its treasures. Guided tour.
