Trained at the hotel school, Pierre started out in prestigious establishments such as the Auberge du P\u00e8re Bise in Talloires and the Maison Chabran in Valence. A former teacher changed the trajectory of his career by suggesting that he try his luck in Switzerland, working for a friend who was chef at the Intercontinental in Geneva. With no regrets, Pierre seized the opportunity and arrived as a commis in 1999. Within two years, he was promoted to chef de partie, before a new opportunity presented itself: joining Philippe Chevrier’s Domaine de Ch\u00e2teauvieux, then at its peak. There, he discovered an almost military rhythm, and the demands and rigor of a two-Michelin-star establishment. It was a real school of discipline and endurance that would profoundly influence his way of working. <\/p>\n

From technology to responsibility<\/h2>\n

After a serious car accident, Pierre was forced to take a break for several months. On his return, he joined the Caf\u00e9 de Peney, then run by Philippe Chevrier’s former second-in-command. A year later, he was appointed head chef. He discovered management, team management and service organization, skills that complemented his technical training. His first steps as boss continued at L’Oranger, where he helped his in-laws launch and run the establishment for two years. It was a busy period, marked by the constant challenge of reconciling family life with a fast pace. <\/p>\n

In 2009, Pierre decided to launch his own venture and founded Pommier Traiteur<\/strong><\/a>. He started modestly, from home, to test demand while looking after his children. The business gradually grew, and in 2016 he opened a laboratory and hired his first employees. His objective is clear: to continue cooking with passion, while having time for his family. Away from the schedules of the big houses, he now works at a gentler pace and savors what he considers “his greatest victory”. <\/p>\n

Adapting to demand<\/h2>\n

Pommier Traiteur originally offered meal subscriptions for families, but the clientele is changing. Executives, entrepreneurs and Geneva-based companies are increasingly requesting its services. Business lunches, aperitifs, events: the offer is naturally modulated towards the professional world. The Pombox, generous and complete salads, quickly became the house staple. Some recipes evolve over time, while others come from the team’s own ideas: a creative approach that values collective intelligence and gives birth to beautiful dishes. <\/p>\n

Today, Pommier Traiteur is a simple, straightforward structure, where fresh, well-executed and affordable dishes are cooked. While most of the company’s customers are businesses, the arcade at La Madeleine maintains a valuable link with private customers. After years spent in exceptional homes, Pierre has been able to shape a business that is true to who he is and focused on people. It’s a journey he considers a success, and an address of trust for his customers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
