Fauchon L'Hotel Paris Names Baptiste Limouzin Chef de Cuisine of Grand Café Fauchon
PARIS, FRANCE (February 22, 2024) — Baptiste Limouzin has been appointed Chef de Cuisine of the Grand Café Fauchon, it was announced by Mr. Arnaud Morandi, General Manager of Fauchon L'Hotel Paris.
Parisian by origin, Charentais at heart, Chef Limouzin studied with Chef Hélène Darroze at the Connaught in London and Chef Guillaume Goupil at Burgundy, before flying to the South of France alongside Chef Meilleur Worker from France, Julien Roucheteau at the Scène Thélème, and then at the Restaurant des Rois at La Réserve de Beaulieu, in Beaulieu-sur-Mer. He defined his culinary universe under these artisans and is committed to honoring the local terroir and French know-how which are at the heart of his cuisine.
According to Chef Limouzin, "FAUCHON products represent an infinite source of new and explosive flavor combinations and pairings which will become the essence of the new cuisine at The Grand Cafe Fauchon."
This new chapter within the Grand Café Fauchon is the opportunity for Chef Limouzin to highlight his skill and commitment to innovation through creative cuisine which dares to be different. It is important to him to enhance the nobility of the emblematic and historic creations of the FAUCHON brand — which represent an infinite source of creation — as well as new and explosive flavors to impart specific emotions as they relate to food.
Beyond inspiration, he favors simplicity, terroir, and finesse, yet always with a little gastronomic extra. At the Grand Café Fauchon, he intends to highlight the best products, celebrate sauces as well as seafood, of which he is particularly fond, associated with beautiful, traditional techniques like serving salt-crusted fish from a pedestal table in the room, in order to cultivate the spirit of sharing of the Maison FAUCHON.
“At the Grand Café Fauchon, indulgence is essential! We are very happy to welcome Baptiste Limouzin who will showcase his expertise to delight the senses of our guests and create unforgettable moments," notes Mr. Morandi.
Just 30 years old, the new chef of Paris' first Gourmet Hotel is writing a fresh gastronomic chapter at the Grand Café Fauchon by introducing an exciting menu which will be launched in the spring.
