  • Restaurant l'Hortus

YOUR PRESENTATION IN A FEW WORDS


My name is Christopher, I'm originally from the Basque country and I celebrated 30 years in the restaurant business this year. I arrived in Aveyron completely by chance after falling in love with the restaurant L'Hortus in Saint-Affrique. My cooking there is very much like me, and I try to please as many people as possible. 

WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE AVEYRON DISH?


A good Roquefort from Gabriel Coulet.

ARE YOU MORE INTO OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, SIGHTSEEING OR RELAXING?

Both activities in the great outdoors, such as a canoe trip in the Tarn gorges, and lazing around to unwind from the working week. 

YOUR FAVOURITE INGREDIENT?


Espelette chilli pepper, because of my Basque origins. 

WHAT'S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?

Being close to our customers
