A journey rich in influences and encounters
Originally from Poitou-Charentes , Laurent Pichaureaux began his training in Deux-Sèvres , before joining establishments renowned for their high standards and excellence. His career took him to Château St Catherine (Relais du Silence) in Charente , to Villa Florentine (Relais & Châteaux) in Lyon , and to Château de Mercuès (Relais & Châteaux) in Lot . These prestigious establishments forged in him rigorous know-how and an unwavering passion for the profession of chef.
It was in London 's upmarket Mayfair district that Laurent Pichaureaux spent nearly nine years honing his understanding of world cuisine . This cosmopolitan immersion gave rise to a wealth of approaches, tastes and techniques that would have a lasting influence on his approach to cooking.
Esens'ALL: A culinary manifesto for tomorrow
Back in France in 2011 , Laurent Pichaureaux founded Esens'ALL , a restaurant unlike any other. Going against the classic codes of gastronomy, he offers a sensory and plant-based experience , articulated around the plant kingdom: flowers, herbs, roots, infusions and distillations become the pillars of a poetic and tasty cuisine.
At Esens'ALL , there is no menu or set menu . Each dish is created on the spot, based on the seasons, the latest produce, and the chef's inspiration. This intuitive and lively approach reflects his deep commitment to cuisine in harmony with nature .
“I let the season and the moment guide my hand. My cuisine is alive, evolving, and above all, sincere.” — Laurent Pichaureaux
A unique plant and floral signature
Laurent Pichaureaux 's culinary laboratory has become a veritable experimental ground. He has developed infusions, macerations, decoctions and distillations of flowers and plants , which enrich his dishes with subtle and unique aromas.
The fresh flowers , which he works with delicacy, do more than just embellish the plates: they bring freshness, liveliness and aromatic complexity . This botanical approach reflects a bold culinary philosophy , where plants are king , without excluding other gastronomic universes.
Responsible and committed cuisine
For over 10 years , Laurent Pichaureaux has been campaigning for sustainable gastronomy . He favors products from organic farming , short supply chains , and works hand in hand with local artisans and producers , all driven by the same desire to produce better and feed better.
His commitment goes beyond the plate. An active member of the Chefs4thePlanet organization , he is involved in strong environmental causes: the fight against food waste , preserving biodiversity , supporting organic farming , and the transition to a sustainable food system .
“Being a chef today also means taking responsibility for our choices: for our customers, for our producers, and for the planet.” — Laurent Pichaureaux
