Yann VAYÉ

Chef de service : La Chèvre d'Or As the director of the La Chèvre d’Or restaurant (4 toques) in Èze, Yann Vayé oversees service in one of the most spectacular dining rooms on the Riviera, overlooking the Mediterranean.

Presentation

In the suspended dining room of La Chèvre d’Or, overlooking the bay of Villefranche and Cap Ferrat, Yann Vayé takes center stage. Already head maître d’hôtel at the fine-dining restaurant in the late 2010s, he is now its director and oversees a dining room staff of about twenty people.

A true host in every sense of the word

Alongside General Manager Thierry Naidu, he embodies the hospitality of this château perched above the medieval village of Èze—a Riviera institution since 1953. The service is elegant, discreet, and warm, executed with precision that remains unseen.

In perfect harmony with Tom Meyer’s cuisine

Since 2024, he has supported the arrival of Chef Tom Meyer, a Meilleur Ouvrier de France, at the helm of La Chèvre d’Or (4 toques). Together with head sommelier Mathieu Selier and a young team that is as talented as it is dedicated, he sets the tone for every meal as if it were a grand performance.
