To celebrate his arrival, Chef Pierre Gagnaire returns to Hong Kong, to create and launch a series of new dishes together with Chef Le Bras, alongside a new Summer tasting menu available from 15 to 23 June. Chef Gagnaire will be present for both lunch and dinner throughout this period.
“Jean-Denis Le Bras, born and raised in Brittany, France, has been working with me for many years now. Together we obtained two Michelin stars at Sketch in London” says Pierre Gagnaire. “I am delighted that he has decided to join me at Pierre in Hong Kong -- a place close to my heart -- where we aim to delight guests with a range of interesting dishes. I also particularly appreciate Jean-Denis’ human values, his talent and also his enthusiasm for artistic things, such as painting, music and design, besides cooking,” he added.
At the age of 36, Jean-Denis already has an extensive amount of experience in working with Pierre Gagnaire, including taking the much-loved Lecture Room and Library at Sketch in London, at which he was Head Chef, from one to two Michelin stars and five AA Rosettes. Other restaurants in which they have worked together include Francois Plantation Restaurant in Guadeloupe, the three Michelin-starred Le Balzac in Paris and the three AA Rosette-winning The Gallery Restaurant at Sketch. With 18 years of experience in leading restaurants around the world, the past six of which have been with Pierre Gagnaire, Jean Denis is the perfect choice to lead Pierre’s culinary team at Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.
