At the age of 25, he was Chef de cuisine at L Auberge du Vieux Puits under three Michelin-starred Chef Gilles Goujon. Currently, Chef Isnard co-owns L Auberge de la Charme located near Dijon, the capital city of the historic Burgundy region in Eastern France, where he earned a Michelin star in 2009 within a year of the restaurant operation. The restaurant was also awarded three Gault & Millau toques. Chef Nicolas s cuisine combines tradition and innovation.
