We caught up with Manon Fleury to explore her journey and the radical concept behind MICHELIN-vetted Paris restaurant Datil
she had already ascended to the role of Chef at Mermoz
inspired by a deep commitment to social responsibility and the future of plant-based cuisine
Datil
named after a rare heritage plum saved from extinction and a South American pepper
is not just a restaurant—it’s Manon’s radical vision in action
Datil has been swiftly recognized by MICHELIN Guide Inspectors
becoming a standout in Paris’s culinary landscape
We sat down with Manon and her co-chefs to discuss feminism
“We ended up with a shortlist of three chefs
and finally decided to hire them all— offering them the same salary,” Manon explains
The thinking behind this decision was that they would be interchangeable
but every chef has changed position at least once
We try to ensure that everyone is highly versatile and as at home with desserts as with fish.”
“At a time when so few people are drawn to restaurant work
perhaps we should ask ourselves why,” says Manon
“Since reducing working hours isn’t always feasible
we’ve implemented a rotating shift system and remain closed on weekends
Our goal is to ensure each chef has several dedicated days or evenings off each week.”
dedicated to preventing violence in kitchens
especially targeting issues faced by catering school students
“The association was invaluable in shaping Datil,” Laurène adds
“We established a charter of respectful behavior: no racism
but what matters is how we handle them and address sensitive situations when they arise.”

Kingfisher’s retail banners in France – Brico Dépôt and Castorama – have launched a recruitment drive to employ 500 young people on apprenticeships in 2021
Apprenticeships will be offered at all levels
in a wide variety of roles: from sales to logistics and support functions
Positions will be available in stores across France
as well as their head offices in Longpont-sur-Orge (Brico Dépôt) and Lille (Castorama)
They will join over 4,000 young people* who are already employed across the two companies
including 1,200 current apprentices (*under the age of 26)
The apprenticeships will help to strengthen Brico Dépôt and Castorama’s teams of the future
while supporting a group of the population which has been hit hard by the crisis
Under the Powered by Kingfisher strategic direction
each retail banner has built its own inclusion and diversity plan specific to its market and demographic
The apprenticeship scheme for Brico Dépôt and Castorama is part of their local inclusion and diversity plans
It is hoped that 50% of the apprentices will remain in employment with Brico Dépôt and Castorama at the end of the programme
with an even split of male and female colleagues
Applicants can submit their CVs to the Brico Dépôt and Castorama recruitment sites or contact their nearest store
