Native of Abbeville, Eric won his first cooking experiences in the North of France, in Lille. Then, he went to Paris in order to train himself next to great chefs like Jean Delaveyne, Jaques le Divellec....

In 1993, he joined the Joël Robuchon's team. There he learned the rigour, the meticulousness and the taste of high quality products.

He had his first chef experience in "La Chartreuse du Val Saint Esprit" near Béthune and confirmed it close to Michel and Jean Michel Lorrain in "La Côte Saint-Jacques" in Joigny.

In 2002, with his wife, Anne-Gaëlle, he decided to come back in his native region "La Somme" to take on "L'Aubergade" (inns by the roadside) in order to rediscover and to make known the products of his region, especially from the Somme bay which inspired Jules Verne and from the "hortillonnages" the floating gardens from Amiens.

In 2005, after the opening of a second restaurant more traditionnal, "Le Bistrot des chefs", in Amiens, l'Aubergade is honored by the Guide Michelin with the awarding of one star.

Created in 2005 by Eric Boutté, "Le Bistrot des Chefs" is a tribute to the cooking and the cooks. Located very near from the cathedral of Amiens, you will taste a traditional cooking elaborated by the chef Stéphane Pecquet and his team from products meticulously chosen with passing seasons.

In a setting where are mixed old cooking utensils, jackets of great chefs, crockeries, pots and pans in copper, the basement is a muffled place, a cellar, where it is good to be sat beside a thousand useless things full of history but of which we cannot get rid.
