It is a movement, a philosophy and a celebration of place through flavour. For over seventy years since its founding in 1954, the brand has curated epic luxury stays and stories, woven from each destination&#8217;s soul and shaped by the hands of artisans in hospitality, experience and gastronomy. To celebrate those stories, we speak to seven visionary chefs \u2013 one for each decade of Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux&#8217;s milestone anniversary \u2013 who redefine fine dining by honouring the land, its culture, diversity and sustainable practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Seventy years is a remarkable milestone \u2013 one that gleams with vision, passion and the relentless pursuit of excellence, not to mention endurance. An <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/tag\/relais-and-chateaux\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">icon in luxury travel<\/a><\/strong>, Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux has irrefutably evolved with time yet remained timeless \u2013 adapting, innovating, and inspiring across generations. It continues to deepen its commitment to the art of travel and what shapes it in contemporary terms, particularly in inclusion, as well as community-driven and environmentally based custodianship. But we feel it is in its approach to culinary excellence, with each dish served at its destinations, which authentically tells the story of the land, its people and its crafting of unforgettable experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To celebrate this platinum anniversary, we honour some of the people who have shaped its extraordinary journey&#8230; and who are shaping its future. The Experientialist\u00ae speaks to seven Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux chefs \u2013 and chef\/owners \u2013 who are the tastemakers of tomorrow, weaving sustainability, heritage and innovation into their cuisine, ensuring that no two Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux experiences are the same. They share their vision for now and the future with us and explain how they are each championing individuality and rejecting the predictable in favour of the personal, the crafted and the truly extraordinary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mauro Colagreco<\/strong>, Chef Owner<br><strong>Mirazur<\/strong>, Menton, France<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery alignwide has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RL-2-Mirazur-1-new.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"60117\" src=\"http:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RL-2-Mirazur-1-new-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Mauro Colagreco of Relais &amp;

It is in this spirit that I opened my restaurant <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.relaischateaux.com\/gb\/restaurant\/restaurant-mirazur\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mirazur<\/a><\/strong> in Menton, in 2006. For almost twenty years, I have been working on the implementation of a circular gastronomy that no longer produces at the expense of the earth, but instead promotes the regeneration of ecosystems. I think that by adopting a more circular gastronomy, respectful of nature&#8217;s cycles, it is possible to feed a growing population without eating the planet anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond \u201cliving without destroying\u201d, it&#8217;s now a question of \u201cliving to protect\u201d. Protecting our environment must be our primary concern. We, chefs, play a role that goes far beyond our kitchens. We are influencers with our suppliers and guests; we have the privilege and responsibility of shaping tomorrow&#8217;s culinary trends; we are educators and above all we are guardians of biodiversity.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Michael Caines<\/strong><\/strong>, Chef Owner<br><strong>Lympstone Manor<\/strong>, Devon, UK<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"60123\" src=\"http:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Michael Caines beekeeping at Lympstone Manor Relais &amp; Chateaux\" class=\"wp-image-60123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-610x763.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-1400x1750.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-6-Michael-Caines-Lympstone-Manor-3.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"60059\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Lympstone Manor vineyards\" class=\"wp-image-60059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-610x763.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-1400x1750.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-5-Lympstone-Manor-Vineyard.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The values of Relais &amp; Ch\u00e2teaux lie in sustainability, cultural diversity and culinary excellence.

The role we play as chefs now in working sustainably will ensure that conscious gastronomy continues to evolve into the future.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><strong>Vicky Lau<\/strong><\/strong>, Founder &amp; Head Chef<br><strong>Tate Dining Room &amp; Bar<\/strong>, Hong Kong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"60062\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Vicky Lau of Relais &amp; Chateaux restaurant Tate Dining Room in Hong Kong\" class=\"wp-image-60062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-610x763.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-1400x1750.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-9-Vicky-Lau.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"60063\" src=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Ode to olive dish at Tate Dining Room in Hong Kong\" class=\"wp-image-60063\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-1638x2048.jpg 1638w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-610x763.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-770x963.jpg 770w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-1400x1750.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.outthere.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/RC-10-Vicky-Lau.jpg 1707w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>As a chef in Hong Kong, my commitment to sustainability inspires our establishments to embrace culinary diversity and excellence through the innovative use of local ingredients.

With climate change and biosphere preservation presenting significant challenges, both institutions are calling for a shift in how we, as travellers, think about food, hospitality, community and the environment.
