About Us

Meet

the two chefs

Aru by Lagarde was founded in 2024 by brothers Mathieu and Jacques Lagarde.

The duo has over 25 combined years of international experience working in renowned kitchens across the globe. After rejoining in 2023 as chef owners of Cascada Marbella, the two wanted to embark upon yet another new project.

Motivated by the seasons and our surroundings, the team enjoys foraging for ingredients to bring an element that ties our local environment to each plate.

Our biggest

challenge

In 2023, Jacques and Mathieu Lagarde had the opportunity to express their cuisine through a famous French tv show, where they met many renown chefs from all over the world.
