Biography
Katell Guillou was born on 15 December 1972 in Bastogne, Belgium. She is the daughter of Lysiane and Pierrick Guillou, restaurateurs who have maintained Michelin-star status in Luxembourg since the 1970s. In 1972, they inaugurated "Saint Michel" in Luxembourg City, followed by "La Table des Guilloux" in Schouweiler in 1993, which achieved two Michelin stars. After completing a literary baccalauréat at Institut Pilatre des Roziers in Moulins-lès-Metz, Katell took charge of her parents' catering enterprise based in Luxembourg City.
She then dedicated a decade to working with caterer Pascal Brasseur, honing her culinary and hospitality skills. When the adjacent property to "La Table des Guilloux" became available in 1999, she chose to establish her own dining venue there. Assisted by her father during renovations and contributing her own interior design vision, she launched "Toit pour Toi" on 31 December 1999; the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star six years later.
Following her parents’ retirement and the closure of "La Table des Guilloux," Katell purchased the premises, undertook significant refurbishment, and opened "Guillou Campagne" in 2009. This establishment earned its Michelin star in 2015.
