Bérangère Fagart, a free and committed chef
While her appearance on Top Chef made her visible to the public, the essence of Bérangère Fagart lies elsewhere. Self-taught, she has navigated through theatre, electronic music, and the culinary world before deciding to settle her knives at home in Sélune. But the chef is far from stopping there. As a co-president of the Ecotable community, she advocates for sustainable and responsible dining, mindful of the environment and the people working in this field. She even welcomes events at her restaurant, like Le Relais des chef·fes, a 5-day culinary marathon that gathered nearly 30 chefs for the Paralympic Games. She is also the founder of the initiative Let’s Sustainably Feed Students, which aims to finance quality meals for students in need by inviting chefs and restaurateurs each week to cook meals for them.
