Dining shaped by the seasons

Dining at Elysium is an experience to be savoured — unhurried, thoughtful, and shaped by its surroundings.

Our menus are guided by the seasons and inspired by each destination, celebrating local ingredients and the character of the place you’re in. From relaxed breakfasts to long, lingering dinners, every moment is designed to feel effortless and considered.

Whether you’re gathering with others or taking time for yourself, these are spaces where conversation flows, flavours linger, and time stretches just a little longer.

He trained in prestigious Michelin-starred restaurants in France before moving to England in 1989, where he worked at renowned London establishments including the Hilton Park Lane, Mirabelle, and Quaglino’s.

After further Michelin-starred experience in Paris, Dublin, and aboard the QE2 cruise liner, Stephane settled in Cornwall. He joined Rick Stein Restaurants, becoming Head Chef of The Seafood Restaurant within six months and remaining in the role for over 21 years before being appointed Group Chef in 2019.

In 2023, Stephane launched The Stephane Delourme Gastronomic Adventure, offering private dining, pop-ups, festivals, and restaurant consultancy across the UK and Europe. He is passionate about using fresh Cornish produce and supporting local suppliers.

Outside the kitchen, Stephane is an avid marathon runner who has raised money for charity through running, and he enjoys family life in Padstow with his partner, three daughters, and dog.
