Groupe Éclore
“One place, one chef, one story.”
Since 2018, Groupe Éclore has created and nurtured Parisian houses where young talents flourish, from the two-star table to the neighbourhood bistro. One shared standard: real cuisine, homemade and accessible.

The Group
Letting talent blossom.
The name says it all: éclore means to bring to life and let grow. Groupe Éclore brings together houses that share one standard of produce, of gesture and of welcome, while leaving each chef their own signature and freedom.
Each address is conceived as an adventure in its own right: one place, one chef, one story. This deliberate diversity, from a starred institution to a modern tavern, from a wood-fired bistro to a signature table, is what gives the group its coherence.
One place
Addresses with a character all their own, designed as true places to live.
One chef
At each house, a chef and their signature, their freedom, their cuisine.
One story
An adventure in its own right, from the produce to the plate.
Founder & President
Stéphane Manigold
Chevalier de l'Ordre national du Mérite · Radio & TV commentator (LCI, BFM) · Ambassador of the Gastronomes de la Commanderie de Rungis.
Founder of Groupe Éclore, Stéphane Manigold champions a demanding vision of hospitality: homemade cooking, craftsmanship and real produce, against the industrial and the uniform.
His causes: making haute cuisine accessible, helping young chefs blossom by giving them a place, a freedom and a story to write, and defending genuine food education, carried by strong CSR commitments. Every house in the group was born of these convictions.
He carries this voice beyond his own tables, in the media as much as on the ground: during the health crisis, his standoff with the insurers shifted the lines for every restaurateur. From the Rungis market to the plate, he tirelessly defends the produce and those who make it.
“One place, one chef, one story.”
