Racines by Bruno Cirino

About Racines by Bruno Cirino

As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Nice, stepping into Racines felt like witnessing a revolution on a plate. At 70 years old, chef Bruno Cirino has achieved what many thought impossible—earning a Michelin star for purely vegan cuisine, making this the only starred vegan restaurant in all of France. This isn't plant-based cooking as compromise or limitation; it's a bold declaration that vegetables, when treated with the respect and technique usually reserved for foie gras and lobster, can deliver experiences every bit as luxurious and memorable. What makes Racines so extraordinary isn't just the absence of animal products—it's the presence of imagination, technique, and flavor that transforms humble vegetables into fine dining that would impress even the most committed carnivore. Each dish arrives as proof that plant-based cuisine has finally come of age, earning its place at the highest levels of French gastronomy.
