Thibaut Gamba, Michelin-starred Chef
A young prodigy from the Vosges, Thibaut Gamba has been rubbing shoulders with the stars ever since he came of age. Trained in traditional gastronomy at Lassere (2 stars) in Paris, where he learnt the great classic bases of French cuisine alongside starred chef Jean-Louis Nomicos, four years later he joined Pierre Gagnaire (3 stars) in Paris, where he discovered a much less conventional, more creative cuisine. Then he was seized by the desire to cross the sea, and the multi-starred American Thomas Keller welcomed him to the brigade of Per Se (3 stars) in New York. It was in this exceptional setting that he discovered French-inspired world cuisine, before continuing his journey in Norway, where he learnt new techniques for cutting and preparing seafood.
On his return to France, he won the Gault&Millau young talent prize, as well as his first job as Chef at La Table du Clarance (1 star) in Lille. For six years, he held on to the Michelin star acquired by his predecessor and developed his creativity around local products.
In 2023, with his reputation already well established, he decided to bring his globe-trotting gastronomy into the Angelus fold, at Logis de la Cadène. Thibaut Gamba defines his culinary identity thus: plant-based cuisine, resolutely turned towards fish. A cuisine open to the world, rich in the techniques and cultures discovered through his training and travels.
