Michelin Star Chef Yves Mattagne

About Chef Yves Mattagne:

Yves Mattagne, born in 1963, started his career at a renowned international hospitality group in Brussels following his military service with the Belgian navy. He then moved on to their London Hotel in Gatwick where he became chef for their gastronomic restaurant for 2 years. When he returned to Belgium, he assisted famous Belgian chef Michel Beyls at "l'Orangerie". The next step in his gastronomic career was his 8-month training at "Le Divellec" in Paris, where he trained for the opening of the Sea Grill. Yves Mattagne took over in January 1990, was awarded a 1st Michelin star in 1991, followed by a 2nd one in 1997.  2009 saw the launch of the Atelier Yves Mattagne – a cooking school and caterer based in Tour & Taxis – and 2010 was the year Yves became the owner of the Sea Grill. The Sea Grill kept its 2 stars until it closed its doors in December 2019, before the Chef relocated to the Villa Lorraine in Uccle. While the new and improved Villa Lorraine was being renovated, the Chef ran a popup restaurant – the Art Club - on the famous Place Royale, serving world cuisine ‘to share’ inspired by his travels abroad. In September 2019 Yves Mattagne launched the first Gaufres & Waffles, together with his son Sébastien, David Ghysels and Michael Chiche (Dinner in the Sky), offering authentic savoury and sweet Brussels waffles. In 2020, the Chef opened the new Villa Lorraine - restaurant & lounge bar – a combination of fine casual and low dining.
