Bernard Bach

The son and grandson of restaurateurs, Bernard grew up among the pots, pans and mixed aromas of kitchens. At 13 he began to earn his crust as a waiter and later set off on a tour of France which ultimately led to his first Michelin star in 1995. He returned home in 1999, settling with his family in Pujaudran, close to Toulouse. His approach to cooking is celebrated for its simplicity, focusing on a respect for the seasons and the close relationships he has established with local producers; all the while being wildly imaginative. Bernard achieved his second Michelin-star in 2008.1
