Unconventional, this young Vaudoise chef is making her way in the still predominantly male world of gastronomy, which is probably why she has gathered a 100% female brigade! She offers a relaxed and creative cuisine with the objective of preserving the taste and authenticity of seasonal products. Elected Chef of the Year in 2019 by the Gault et Millau guide, her cuisine was rated 16/20. She continues her ascent by obtaining her first star by the famous Michelin Guide in 2021. Marie Robert delights us with her culinary and playful creations, a great gourmet and convivial moment!  We are pleased to share with you her local, easy and delicious recipe of the Mousseline de Féra du Léman and its lemons.
