Mallaury Girod at Bistrot de Madeleine

Before we turn (once again) to the culinary talents of chef Benjamin Breton and his brigade, it’s high time we made a stop in the dining room at the Bistrot de Madeleine on the heights of Lucinges. Mallaury Girod, who has been with us since the start of the adventure, is the benevolent soul of the bistro’s dining room, the brainchild of chef Benjamin Breton. Unobtrusive yet formidably efficient, she lights up the place with her naturalness while adapting to the weekly menu changes imposed by the owner. After a formative period with Jean Sulpice at the Auberge du Père Bise, she discovered the world of wine in Australia before returning to Haute-Savoie to work at the Refuge des Gourmets. A firm believer in the project initiated by Benjamin Breton, Mallaury Girod has now settled in Lucinges, and looks forward to participating in the future gastronomic chapters of a house that has not finished making a name for itself.
