A few words about your restaurant<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From his restaurant Substrat<\/em> located in Lyon\u2019s Croix Rousse neighbourhood to Food Traboule<\/em> and including his So6<\/em> La Saucissonerie<\/em>, Hubert Vergoin showcases all his creativity, passion and touch of madness. As a sommelier, he personally knows all the winemakers <\/strong>on his wine list. As a chef, he enhances the freshly-picked produce to serve up plates full of colours, flavours and surprises. At Substrat<\/em> \u2013 his neo-bistro <\/strong>housed in a former artisan\u2019s workshop in Croix Rousse \u2013 the charm works: the venue, the dishes created from scratch and the wines, very often from local growers, enchant diners. At So6 La Saucissonerie<\/em>, typical brasserie cuisine is what makes the place tick. Two venues, two atmospheres, but the spirit of sharing is ever-present, with a focus on Beaujolais wines<\/strong>. Hubert Vergoin is one of our award winners of the year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few words about you<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfter training as a sommelier, I began my career at Chez Monsieur Paul at L\u2019Auberge, as an apprentice. Next I worked as a sommelier in a wine shop and wine bar in the south and in Lyon until 2008. After that, I opened my first business, a cave \u00e0 manger<\/em> sandwich shop in Tassin-la-Demi-Lune and the restaurant Substrat on Thursday, November 21, 2013 just in time for the Beaujolais Nouveau festivities!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few words about your restaurant<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSubstrat is in line with the neo-bistro style, with easy-drinking wines and freshly-picked produce\u2026 inspirational cuisine based on herbs, mushrooms and garden veggies.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

An anecdote (or two) from behind the scenes<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the restaurant first opened, the desserts weren\u2019t quite up to par. We worked hard to make them stand out, especially the ice cream that I love: I wanted to make chef desserts with homemade ice cream in original flavours, for example: a slice of gingerbread topped with cep ice cream, olive oil ice cream served on a white chocolate biscuit, or fresh strawberries served with sheep\u2019s cheese ice cream\u2026 One day, a customer asked if we could \u2018just\u2019 serve him a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. I think he thought we had a freezer full of ice cream flavours. We even offered to serve him a bit of whipped cream with it, before politely telling him no way!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A beaujolais wine-and-food pairing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA surprising food and wine pairing is with oysters and a Fleurie<\/strong> wine, for example!\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are you so attached to the Beaujolais region?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGamay<\/strong> runs in my blood! It\u2019s like the Rh\u00f4ne and Sa\u00f4ne rivers\u2026 I like the very Gallic side of this region and also its genuine organic-nature<\/strong> avant-garde approach.\u201d (an avant-gardist approach, a new generation)<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of your \u201cfavourite\u201d winegrowers and why<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
