Guillaume ANGLADE
Chef de service : 1 restaurant Guillaume Anglade is the restaurant manager of the Restaurant des Rois (4 toques) at La Réserve de Beaulieu, Beaulieu-sur-Mer.
Born in Poitiers, France, Guillaume Anglade knew from the age of eight that he wanted to become a maître d'. "A friend of my mother's worked on cruises. every time she came back, he'd bring her presents, and I could see her eyes shining. When I asked him what he was doing, I knew it would be my job." A diligent but unscholastic student, he found his calling in 1995 at the Ecole hôtelière, where he completed a four-year course. His first experiences took him to La Tour d'Argent (3 toques) in Paris, before joining Restaurant Michel Guérard (5 toques) in Eugénie-les-Bains.
Eager to perfect his English, he left in 1999 for the Gleneagles Hotel in Scotland, where he stayed for four years. There, he rose through the ranks to become Maître d'hôtel in a 400-room house and 250-cover restaurant, where flambéing and carving punctuated the service. "We did a lot of work at the table, which was very formative," he recalls. In 2003, his next stop was the United States, at Wheatleigh, a 19-room luxury hotel between New York and Boston, where he became a room manager.
The Robuchon school and a foothold in Beaulieu-sur-Mer
In 2005, Guillaume Anglade joined the Métropole in Monaco, under the guidance of Joël Robuchon. After a brief interlude in China to open a French restaurant in Shanghai, he returned to the chef in 2008 to help open Yosh (2 toques)i, the group's first Japanese restaurant. In 2010, Joël Robuchon entrusted him with a major mission: to open the Singapore address, within the Resort World Sentosa. "It was the experience of a lifetime," he says, "I was given carte blanche on everything, right down to the art of the table."
At the end of 2012, he decided to return to France. He fell in love with the Réserve de Beaulieu and moved to the Côte d'Azur as Restaurant Manager. Here, he found a family-run business, driven by the passion of Nicole and Jean-Claude Delion. After taking a break from the business in 2021, he returns in 2023, in charge of the Restaurant des Rois as well as the company's other outlets. With the same exacting standards as when he started, and an undiminished passion for the art of service.
