Poulet Purée

Poulet Purée is a new 400-seat restaurant in Paris specialising in chicken and mashed potatoes. Owner Fabrice Raoult previously developed the 300-strong ‘La Pataterie’ restaurant group in France and now wants to create another chain. Situated at Seguin Island in Boulogne-Billancourt, Poulet Puree uses only the high welfare ‘Label Rouge’ chickens.

These are slow growing birds, reared free-range in traditional style. They live twice as long as a standard bird and taste much better too. The birds are grain-fed, with no GMOs or dairy products. Each chicken bears the name of its breeder on a ring, a guarantee of total traceability to consumers. Very satisfied with the quality, he chose MEIKO for Poulet Puree, selecting an M-iClean UM GiO glasswasher for glassware and a DV80.2 hood-type dishwasher for dishes.

“Each thing has a taste and each thing has a cost. Quality is priceless with regard to the serenity it brings you when you manage a restaurant and you know that you can run your daily business with the certainty you won’t have any problem,” says Raoult.

Raoult’s obsession is quality – of the food, service and the kitchen and bar equipment – but he is also very sensitive to water and energy consumption and has already noticed great improvements thanks to the smart energy system management of the new M-iClean commercial dishwasher. He took into consideration MEIKO’s supportive customer relations and the excellent technical competence of its technicians.

Raoult chose MEIKO’s GiO reverse osmosiswater treatment system for his wine glasses. Poulet Purée offers a large choice of wines and Raoult demanded sparkling and spot free cleaning results. Moreover, he underlines the fact that there is no need to polish dishware after washing which means less breakages and reduced staff cost.
