Chef Stéphane Froidevaux
Chef Stéphane Froidevaux
Born in Doubs, France, Chef Stéphane Froidevaux’s connection to the land was nurtured from the very beginning. Growing up on a farm in the village of Belleherbe, and later relocating with his family to Briançon, his love of gathering wild currents, mushrooms and hazelnuts from the mountains further sparked his enthusiasm for the culinary world.
Alongside this, his parents’ passion for harvesting nature’s abundant gifts from the land served as the foundation for his future career as a chef. At age 15, he enrolled in his first apprentice, before discovering the “palace cuisine” of the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris under chefs Christian Constant and Eric Fréchon. Stéphane later earned 1 Michelin star at l’Antidote in Serre Chevalier, prior to moving to Fantin Latour. In 2007, Stéphane won Israel’s first season of Iron Chef (Krav Sakinim).

a chef driven restaurant in the heart of tel aviv
nomi embraces the diverse cultures influencing Israel’s culinary scene – an approach steeped in precision and a philosophy rooted in Chef Yoram Nitzan’s passion for crafting dishes that are delicious, colourful and inventive.
For chef Yoram Nitzan, one of Israel’s most respected veteran chefs, family gatherings were an event around the dinner table, and it was here a fascination for the kitchen blossomed. His immeasurable thirst for cooking was later discovered working alongside molecular gastronomy chef Marc Veyrat at La Maison Des Bois, the very place chef Stéphane and he shared their first encounter.
Yoram’s journey through kitchens far and wide exposed him to new tastes and world-class cooking techniques, gaining him acclaimed recognition for his many years of service as chef of Mul Yam. Now, Yoram is at the helm of nomi, where his inspired take on kosher gourmet dining remains rooted in local ingredients.
