The First Day We Got Our Stars: Jerome Roy
"Le Cloître is a one-Michelin-starred restaurant located in Le Couvent des Minimes Hôtel & Spa L'Occitane in France. Executive chef Jerome Roy, who joined in 2012, has elevated the restaurant to earn its first Michelin star in 2016. The restaurant is celebrated for its use of local ingredients, including almonds, lemons, and lavender, which are staples in Provençal cuisine and L'Occitane's beauty products. Roy's previous experience includes working in Michelin-starred restaurants such as Pierre Gagnaire pour les Airelles in Courchevel and Troisgros in Roanne." - Meryl Koh
