From Paris with Love! Michelin Star Chef Frédéric Simonin Romantic dinners during the Valentine’s period at VIE Hotel Bangkok, 12th – 14th February 2015
FrExclusively at La VIE – Creative French Cuisine in VIE Hotel Bangkok, Michelin star Frédéric Simonin, chef and owner of Frédéric Simonin Restaurant in Paris, will express the taste and class of his modern creative talents, during Valentine’s romantic dinners , 12th – 14th February 2015.
A superb 5-course dinner menu by the Chef who brought the famous La Table de Joël Robuchon restaurant in Paris and London such universal renown.
Chef Frédéric started cooking at the age of just 15 in Brittany, France, and worked his way up through high-end restaurants, such as Meurice, Taillevent and George V, learning every aspect of the art and the business. Eventually he was selected as Sous-Chef in the remarkable Ghislaine Arabian’s restaurant. Her bold innovations in bringing French country style cooking to haute cuisine were a great influence and encouragement. In 2002, when she left the restaurant, Frédéric became the Chef there and earned the restaurant a Michelin star. He was only 27.
By 2004, he had gotten the attention of famous “Chef of the Century” Joël Robuchon, who asked him to be the chef of his new restaurant in Paris, “La Table de Joël Robuchon “. While there, he earned a first Michelin star for the restaurant, followed by a second one in 2006, helping to bring the restaurant its present universal acclaim. That year, he left Paris for London as Executive Chef, to assist with the opening of other Joël Robuchon’s restaurants, where he also earned two Michelin stars.
Back in Paris, Chef Frédéric opened his own restaurant in April 2010 and has received his own Michelin Star for a modern and creative French cuisine described as highly disciplined and traditional yet fine and delicate — an art to be savoured.
