OUR MENUS
RESTAURANT LEO-PAUL AIX-LES-BAINS
The LEO-PAUL restaurant is the meeting of two people who are full of life, passionate, authentic… and serious too. For Catherine AITIS, the owner of the premises, Restaurant LEO-PAUL is a “coup de coeur”. Shortly after acquiring it, she fashioned it in her own image. As a lover of good food, she needs a chef who matches her style, culinary quality and mindset. It was only natural that she should approach Chef Gilles BLONAY.
Since 2018, he has been deploying his know-how and instilling his good humour in the LEO-PAUL restaurant. The setting, the universe of the address, are all important in the pleasures of the table. So, in 2019, Catherine AITIS is renovating the restaurant, getting fully involved and choosing a combination of rococo and art-deco in homage to the history of the place, combined with contemporary elegance, firmly anchored in the present.
If there’s one thing that Catherine AITIS and Gilles BLONAY have in common, it’s the gastronomic pleasure they want you to experience and share.
