Jean-François ROUQUETTE
Chef : 1 restaurant
Winner of a Gault&Millau d'Or in 2021, Jean-François Rouquette is now one of the world's leading chefs. At the helm of the Park Hyatt Paris Vendôme since 2005, this son and grandson of restaurateurs who moved to Paris from Aveyron (where they created the famous Ambassade d'Auvergne), learned the basics of the trade from his mother.
After a stint as a commis at Le Petit Riche in Paris, the young man joined the Hôtel de Crillon, then Christian Willer at Le Martinez, where he was fascinated by this artisan chef who worked only with exceptional products.
But Jean-François preferred the hustle and bustle of Parisian life. He returned to Le Crillon during the Christian Constant period (where he met Eric Frechon and Yves Camdeborde), then moved on to Le Taillevent, where he worked under Claude Deligne and Philippe Legendre, before returning once again to Le Crillon to replace Eric Frechon.
His first chef position? At the helm of the Cantine des Gourmets, where for six years he delighted customers with his classic yet personal cuisine. After a brief stint at Les Muses, the Scribe restaurant recently vacated by Yannick Alléno, Jean-François Rouquette joined the Park Hyatt at the end of 2005.
Here, in this very chic hotel so carefully formatted, this chef, as human as he is passionate, delivers a cuisine that is simply stunning, perfectionist, based on top-quality products, and full of dazzling ideas.
