Damien Germanier leaves the guides

Even though we know that the stars awarded by Michelin belong to the guide and not to the chefs who receive them, the approach taken by chef Damien Germanier is not without consequence. In an honest press release in which respect, passion and benevolence are evident in every sentence, the Sion-based chef announces that he no longer wishes to appear in gastronomic guides. Following a firm and well-considered decision, the chef confirms the closure of his gourmet restaurant at the end of February, to be replaced by a new concept from March 6. According to the information provided, it will be a simple concept, a return to the basics of cooking by putting a team and a place before a chef. ” In my opinion, cooking is an act of sharing and love, and should be enjoyed by as many people as possible. I want to get back to my first love and start cooking again, in a gourmet and authentic way. The cook doesn’t change, just the way of doing things”, he declares.
