Thursday, 9 October 2014 00:00 - - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Richard Toix, renowned for his mastery in the art of fusion food, brings with him to Sri Lanka, over 20 years of culinary experience and enthusiasm. Toix was born in Perpignan, studied in a Lycee Hotelier and specialises in French cuisine. He landed his first placement with the famous 3 Michelin Star restaurant, Roux Brothers, in London and has not looked back since.

He has worked all across France at the most illustrious venues. In 1993, together with his wife Laure, he opened their first restaurant- Le Champ de Foire in Lencloitre, half an hour away from Poitiers. In 2007 he opened a modern restaurant, Passions et Gourmandises, in the charming village of Saint- Benoit, which serves the freshest and finest seasonal produce. The restaurant was awarded a Michelin Star in 2008 under Toix’s meticulous direction, remarkably only nine months after opening its doors. Prior to Chef Richard Toix’s arrival to Sri Lanka and exclusive debut at Clique, he qualified as a semi finalist, competing for the prestigious and extremely coveted Un des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF) title, against French industry specialists and professionals. Troix has painstakingly selected and hand-carried the most excellent of French ingredients and produce for this unique, gastronomic experience; an experience, which is beautifully illustrated by a phenomenal wine pairing exercise, narrated by Rockland’s extensive Wine World portfolio.
