Julien Gatillon opens not one but two new restaurants in Megève
Julien Gatillon opened two new restaurants, YOU and ANATA, in Megève on Thursday November 30. Discover the world of these two restaurants, located in the same building.
As the saying goes, "never two without three"! After opening their first restaurant, NOUS, in Megève in 2020, Julien and Sonia Gatillon inaugurated two new addresses in the heart of the village on November 30, 2023. Their names? YOU and ANATA, two projects with a similar guiding principle, but very distinct universes.
YOU and ANATA in Megève
The couple are opening not one, but two restaurants in one go. "Three years after our first restaurant, we wanted to expand. We moved into a former hardware store called Poil de Carottes. It'sa place well known to Mégevans!" explains Julien Gatillon, named Grand de Demain in 2016 by Gault&Millau.
For both addresses, Julien Gatillon relies on a small team of collaborators, with whom he previously worked at the Four Seasons in Megève. At VOUS, he has surrounded himself with maître d'hôtel Paul Martin and chef Jean Pastre, to offer French gourmet cuisine "with straightforward, clear tastes, designed to magnify the products". "The space features an open kitchen with a large counter that can seat up to 14 people. Upstairs is ANATA ("you" in Japanese), a mezzanine with an open kitchen and a 12-seat counter, in the spirit of omakase. "I was lucky enough to go to Japan for two months in 2016. I immersed myself in the restaurants at lunchtime and had dinner in the evening. I discovered an enormous number of concepts, and it was a great source of inspiration for me," explains Julien Gatillon, who trusts Keiji Ishii and Yohan Delhommeau to keep the offering up to date. "You can discover Japanese techniques with broths, marinated fish, tempura, Japanese barbecue... At VOUS as at ANATA, the menu will be unique."
As a reminder, Julien and Sonia Gatillon's first restaurant, NOUS, is a very personal address. The chef and his wife welcome guests directly into their chalet home, and offer a unique menu for a single reservation of two to twelve guests. As with this table d'hôtes, the chef would like to open YOU and ANATA year-round, to make his cuisine accessible, even out of season.

- NOUS, 206 impasse de la Madone, 74120 Megève
- ANATA, 36 rue Saint-François, 74120 Megève

Maison Heler, Philippe Starck's signature hotel opens in Metz
With its house perched on a building, Maison Heler is unlike any other hotel. Conceived as an "inhabitable, surrealist and literary work of art", this new address intrigues as much as it fascinates. Located in the Architecture district, just a stone's throw from the Centre Pompidou, it is part of the development of the area supported by Hilton. A story of its own, born of a tale imagined by Philippe Starck. A hotel between heaven and earth The 9-storey Maison Heler is topped by a house inspired by 19th-century Lorraine architecture. From the 2nd to the 8th floor, the hotel offers 104 sleek rooms and suites. With concrete walls and pink marble, the décor is modern, elegant and poetic. The 9th floor boasts five private lounges, ideal for business events or relaxation, with a breathtaking view of the city. Two restaurants, two atmospheres On the first floor, Rose's cuisine takes the form of a romantic brasserie. Open all day, it offers warm, simple cuisine: weekly and seasonal menus, healthy, comforting dishes, and Rose's specialty: the tart of the day. Rose's Bar extends the experience, in a relaxed atmosphere, with cocktails featuring local and floral flavors. upstairs, La Maison de Manfred has a more subdued feel, with wood and leather furnishings, warm colors, a family dining room and panoramic views over Metz. Artist Ara Starck designed 19 stained-glass windows, including a monumental one, projecting cathedral-like light across the room. French contemporary cuisine is served à la carte or on a five-course menu. The more intimate Bar de Manfred offers a selection of original cocktails, including the M+R - a combination of truffle-infused cognac and cherry - as well as a wide choice of wines. A world of its own Maison Heler was inspired by the novel La Vie minutieuse de Manfred Heler , a novel imagined by, to accompany the architectural project. It follows the character of Manfred Heler, an orphan living alone in the family home, who occupies his time by dreaming up all sorts of inventions to escape boredom. One day, the earth begins to shake and his house rises above the city. The hotel immerses visitors in this poetic universe. Surreal objects, nods to imaginary inventions and unusual details punctuate the spaces between dream and everyday life. An address that offers much more than a simple stay: an immersion in a story of its own. Price: From 170 euros Where? 31 Rue Jacques Chirac, 57000 Metz
