A Touch of Tradition! Michelin-Starred Chef Sébastien Sanjou
From Le Relais des Moines restaurant during 25th – 28th April 2018 at VIE Hotel Bangkok, MGallery by Sofitel
Bringing us the purest tastes of Southern France, Michelin-starred Chef Sébastian Sanjou, chef and owner of Le Relais des Moines restaurant visits La VIE – Creative French Cuisine restaurant in VIE Hotel Bangkok MGallery by Sofitel with marvellous lunches and dinners during 25th – 28th April.
Descended from a family of restaurateurs in the Pyrenees, Chef Sébastian decided to follow in their footsteps early on. He is dedicated to perfection in his cooking, with a passion for tradition that is second nature to him.
After serving in the famous Chef Willer’s kitchen in Palme d’Or at Cannes as well as spending valuable time under Daniel Labarère, at last, in 2002, Chef Sébastien opened his own restaurant, Le Relais des Moines. The location was a fascinating old 16th century structure, a one-time canteen for monks as well as a sheepfold, in the heart of the Var area in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of Provence in Southeastern France. With his style quite traditional as well as extraordinarily light and delicious, recognition was soon to follow.
Chef Sébastien Sanjou was awarded a Michelin star in 2013, having been numbered among the outstanding Châteaux & Hôtels Collection Tables in 2005. At the end of March 2014, Sébastien Sanjou was inducted as Maitre Cuisinier de France.

About Sébastien Sanjou
Inheriting a family tradition of restaurateurs, Chef Sébastien Sanjou comes originally from the village of La Mongie, situated at an altitude of 1,800 m on the French Pyrenees. With the inspiration of a childhood being surrounded with the practice of cooking, and the sheer beauty of the mountains, Sébastien Sanjou’s destiny to become a great chef was early decided on.
He followed his dreams with service in the famous Chef Willer’s kitchen in Palme d’Or at Cannes as well as spending valuable time under Daniel Labarère. At last, in 2002, Chef Sébastien decided to open his own restaurant, Le Relais des Moines, in a fascinating old 16th century structure, which was once a canteen for monks before becoming a sheepfold, located in the heart of the Var area in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of Provence in Southeastern France. Needless to say, Le Relais was brought back to life and the restaurant was quickly noticed by the culinary world.
At Le Relais des Moines, the diner enjoys Southern French cuisine as it was always meant to be cooked. Sébastien maintains the kitchen while his wife, Geraldine, manages the service and the cellar. He has become known for exceedingly delicious work with the vegetables of Southern France and has created a cuisine simultaneously very traditional as well as extraordinarily light and delicious.
