With its latest chef, Clément Bidard, a more than 120-year-old family tradition continues at restaurant Le Saint-Lazare. In 1899, Clément’s great-great-grandparents, bakers Ernestine and Jean-Claude, bought the site. Their family establishment started out as a bakery, grocery store and village restaurant for family celebrations and banquets.
In 1992, the restaurant transformed slowly but surely into a more contemporary gourmet address, under the guidance of Christian Bidard and his wife Christine, chef Clément’s parents. These efforts don’t go unnoticed: in 1999 the fine-dining destination received a prestigious Michelin star, which was yearly renewed up until 2008.
In 2016, chef Clément joined the kitchen team at restaurant Le Saint-Lazare. His mission is crystal clear: earning back that coveted Michelin star.
