Tom Meyer named chef of La Chèvre d'Or

Mathilde Bourge | 4/5/24, 10:30 AM

Following the announcement of Arnaud Faye's departure from La Chèvre d'Or to the Bristol Paris, the name of his successor has been revealed. His successor is Tom Meyer, Meilleur Ouvrier de France at the head of the Granite restaurant in Paris.

The suspense was short-lived. The day after Arnaud Faye announced he was leaving La Chèvre d'Or in Èze to replace Éric Frechon at the Bristol Paris, the identity of his successor has already been revealed. His successor is Tom Meyer, currently at the helm of Granite restaurant in Paris.

"It'san honor for me to take over from chef Arnaud Faye, whom I admire, at an establishment that's close to my heart. Every year, I come to La Chèvre d'Or as a customer, because I love this magnificent place, its spectacular view, as much as its gourmet cuisine. I'm very happy to be moving to this region, which I'm passionate about, and I can't wait to continue writing the history of the Château de La Chèvre d'Or restaurants," says Tom Meyer in a press release.

This Grand de Demain (Gault&Millau 2022) will arrive in the South in July 2024, two months after the departure of Arnaud Faye. He will take charge of the kitchens of the gastronomic restaurant La Chèvre d'Or, as well as Les Remparts, Café du Jardin and the hotel's room service.

Tom Meyer: a young chef prodigy

At just 30 years of age, Tom Meyer already has a brilliant track record. Winner of the Taittinger International Culinary Prize in 2017 and a finalist in the Bocuse d'Or France in 2019, he has also earned the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2023.

Fun fact: the young chef, originally from the Jura region, previously officiated at La Chèvre d'Or in 2015, as demi-chef de partie. Arnaud Faye was also his mentor at the various competitions Tom Meyer took part in. "We are delighted to welcome an exceptional talent to the establishment. Tom Meyer knows the house well, and his time in our kitchens was highly acclaimed. His recruitment as Executive Chef was an obvious choice for me", says Thierry Naidu, General Manager of La Chèvre d'Or. It remains to be seen who will replace Tom Meyer at the head of the Granite restaurant in Paris.
