Vanessa and Christophe Chauvois left their establishment in Chailland (in Mayenne) to open the restaurant L’Andromède opposite Laval station (Mayenne) on November 11, 2022. The prefecture of Mayenne has just awarded them the distinction of “master restaurateur “. It is only the second establishment in the department to be thus rewarded. “ We made this request because we thought we met all the criteria », explains Vanessa Chauvois.
It is necessary to justify diplomas in catering, which is the case of both spouses, of the use of local producers, “ the minimum number is 5 but for our restaurant we work with 10 of them », provide all invoices to justify the use only of fresh products with no frozen ingredients. “ The setting of the restaurant, the quality of the welcome and the plating of the plates are also taken into account. »
A title valid for four years
For this, a person came to lunch incognito. Once her meal was settled, she came back to introduce herself fifteen minutes later. “ Emphasis is also placed on the use of seasonal products. The specifications may seem demanding but they correspond to what we experience every day in our establishment. »
Vanessa and Christophe Chauvois have already had this distinction in their establishment in Chailland. “ But we are very happy to be recognized. It was important to us », they rejoice. The plaque sent by the prefecture already adorns the entrance to the restaurant. This title is valid for four years.
