This museum was set up by outstanding chef Auguste Escoffier who worked as head chef at the Savoy in London. He founded this museum which is dedicated to culinary art.
Located in his birthplace and fortunately preserved, it has been recently restored with care and taste, and is the jewel in the history of French gastronomy. The Foundation invites you to rediscover this museum today and learn about Auguste Escoffier, the father of the modern kitchen and ambassador for French cuisine!
Escoffier invented many French classic dishes such as the peach Melba or Melba toast in honour of the Australian singer Nellie Melba, as well as the strawberries a la Sarah Bernhardt.
There are lots of interesting exhibits including beautiful cakes, icing flowers and other impressive creations. There are also tasting available and guided tours upon request.
