The Heart Behind Popâ
Chef Benjamin Michel brings a world of culinary experience to Popâ, the private chef service he co-founded with his brother Aurélien. Trained at ESTHUA in Angers, Benjamin has worked in renowned kitchens across Australia, Canada, and France, including L’Epuisette in Marseille. Inspired by a love for fresh, local ingredients and a commitment to excellence, his dishes blend global techniques with a heartfelt connection to his Vosges roots. Together with Aurélien, he creates memorable dining experiences, honouring their family legacy through every plate.
Every dish tells a story—of where I’ve been, the producers I work with, and the people I cook for. It’s all about connection.
