How Pastel began

Pastel was born from a wonderful encounter. It began with Kélian, a passionate chef with a deep love for his native Périgord. Since childhood, he has cultivated a taste for good produce, passed down by his family. Former owner of the Mam’s restaurant in Périgueux, he has offered catering and private chef services since 2022. He loves sharing his cooking with generosity, precision and warmth.

Alongside him, Chloé brings her creative flair and communications expertise. With a degree in digital marketing, she designs Pastel’s communication materials and shapes the atmosphere of every event, from the decoration down to the smallest details.

Day to day, what brings us together is our love of gastronomy, good produce and the little touches that go with it. We combine our perspectives at every stage of your project, so the experience is as delightful for the taste buds as it is memorable for the eyes.

“The name Pastel evokes nuance, softness and elegance.

Like a palette of colours, each of our receptions is a bespoke composition of flavours, atmospheres and settings.”

Delicate, sincere and flavourful cooking

Homemade cooking is the very foundation of what we do. We favour fresh, quality produce sourced from producers in our region.

Our signature style moves between tradition and fine dining, offering cooking that is both comforting and subtle. Inspired by our travels, we love reinterpreting the classics of Périgord cuisine, adding bold and distinctive touches to surprise our guests.
