Authentic Tradition

Nature + Passion + Inspiration

Our Philosophy

Ingredients with a Soul

At La Scène Thélème, every dish pays tribute to those who nurture the beauty of nature. Vegetables, flowers, herbs, and mushrooms are carefully sourced from passionate, small-scale producers — all working in harmony with the seasons and inspiring each creation by Chef Rudy Langlais and his team.

Since 2021, a meaningful collaboration has flourished with Anna Shoji from Ferme YASAI in the Touraine region. Originally from Japan, Anna cultivates exceptional Japanese vegetables in France with care, respect for the earth, and deep seasonal awareness.

We also work closely with Sylvie from La Ferme de Quyvie, whose edible flowers and herbs elevate our plates with grace and flavor. Grown with heart and humility, her botanical treasures reflect the generosity of nature — and the joy of sharing it through cuisine.

  • Seasonality as a matter of course
  • Partner producers
  • Short supply chains & respect for nature

Rudy Langlais, a Rising Chef to Watch Closely

At La Scène Thélème, every service is conceived as a moment of grace. In harmony with this singular venue — both a Michelin-starred restaurant and a theatre — Chef Rudy Langlais takes center stage with passion and precision.

Originally from Angers and trained at the Saumur hospitality school, Rudy quickly joined the brigade of Alain Ducasse at Le Meurice. There, he honed his sense of excellence and discipline. It was during this time that he met Chef Yoshitaka Takayanagi, with whom he collaborated for seven years — first at L’Agapé*, then at La Scène Thélème*.

Alongside him, Rudy discovered the richness of Japanese gastronomy. He embraced a refined, minimalist approach, where technique steps back to let the natural energy of the ingredients shine. He developed a demanding yet sincere style, deeply attuned to the rhythm of nature.

Today, he fully embodies the spirit of La Scène Thélème: a cuisine of character, both French and Japanese, precise and sensitive.

  • Honest, precise cuisine with no unnecessary frills
  • A culinary journey from France to Japan
  • Guided by the rhythm of nature
