In Céret, the head of Fario gourmet restaurant already seems to have won over its customers, as well as culinary experts. The Gault et Millau guide has just given the establishment a very nice note.

“It’s a gastronomic address that should quickly gain an excellent reputation.” News Perpignan announced it to you at the beginning of September: the Fario de Céret restaurant has indeed become a unmissable table of Vallespir, and the department as a whole.
Returning from the capital, where he had won a Michelin star with his best friend, Kévin de Porre found son Pays catalan natal with firm ambition. That of making your terroir shine through local cuisine, based “on plants, the sea and wild herbs”.
Considered “one of the most anticipated new French restaurants for the 2024 school year” by Gault et Millau, Fario has already received a distinction from this famous gastronomic guide, which awarded it a score of 13 and reward of two hatsplacing it directly among the best restaurants in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
The Gault et Millau opinion
Two “Chef’s Table” hats – 13/20
“Tribute to brown trout at Kevin de Porre, who left for the other side of the country after treating us to his Contraste rue d’Anjou, then associated with his accomplice Erwan Ledru. In the cherry capital, in the heart of Vallespir , he now sails solo, as close as possible to nature and a favorable environment, thus returning to the region of his childhood A champion’s know-how (he notably worked at Shangri-La during the Labbé period, at the Plaza and at. Kei), a beautiful science of local product: the road to the Pyrenees is wide open for Kevin, and the first forkfuls are very promising.”
