Our restaurant - Brief history - Catering and Seminar service - Our chef |  |
 |
| A successful career Gabriel Marlot was only 24 when he took over the Cygne de la Croix in 1976. At first he was on his own. His retired father helped him out for a few years. He was as much concerned with renovating the premises as surrounding himself with quality staff, to whom he passed on his love of the profession, teaching them the expertise acquired from working with several star chefs.  Before setting up in Nogent-sur-Seine, after leaving the Ecole Hoteliere in Romilly-sur-Seine in 1969, our chef earned his stripes working in a number of exclusive establishments. After a few years in the ranks, he became first chef’s assistant in a restaurant called Le President, one of the best around the Rungis food market. It was there that he learned to appreciate freshness in all food products. He then joined the prestigious Plaza Athenée brigade, the luxury Avenue Montaigne hotel in Paris, where he discovered the permanent demand for quality.
