Prétexte

Their history

Behind Pretext are three friends. It all started with Alice, two years old at the time, daughter of one of the founders. Diagnosed with a porous intestine, she had to avoid all inflammatory products, lactose and gluten first, in order to rebuild her intestine and be able to continue growing normally. Her father, Philippe Limbourg, had just ended his 15-year career at the head of the Gault&Millau Belgium and Luxembourg Guides. Gourmet and gourmand, and through contact with René Mathieu, one of the most inspiring 'plant-based' chefs, he developed various avenues that he explored. With the help of his two partners, Bernard De Burlin and Jean-Christophe Duplat, he launched the first products on the market.
