The Chef
& its
cuisine
The cuisine at Le Vieux Honfleur is led by Chef Matthieu Pouleur, who heads the culinary operations of the Collection Saint-Siméon - Relais & Châteaux. Much like a painter with a canvas, he expresses his creativity and identity through his dishes. A proponent of both classic and modern culinary styles, he creates refined dishes that embody simplicity.
Matthieu Pouleur
Matthieu Pouleur's fascination with gastronomy began in childhood. His parents instilled in him an early appreciation for fine food and the importance of using fresh, local products. From his initial experiences, he advanced within the exclusive and prestigious realm of Michelin-starred restaurants, from Maison Lameloise to Relais Bernard Loiseau, eventually becoming Sous-Chef at L'Écrin, the restaurant of the Crillon in Paris.
In July 2019, seeking a return to a more natural environment and authentic cuisine, he paid special attention to the quality of his ingredients and chose to move to Normandy, a region known for its rich gastronomy. Today, as the head chef of the kitchens of the Collection Saint-Siméon , Matthieu Pouleur crafts menus that reflect his experiences and expertise. At Le Vieux Honfleur, he works alongside a dedicated team to create exceptional culinary experiences.
