Alléno’s made a name for himself over the years by reinventing traditional dishes with a contemporary twist.

He’s perfected that art from some of the industry’s greatest chefs – putting much of his culinary education down to time spent at Drouant, under the great Louis Grondard.

The French national then set off to head the kitchens at Hotel Scribe, where in 1999, Alléno’s hard work was rewarded with his first star from the Michelin Guide, followed by a second in 2002.

In 2003, the hit chef took on responsibility for Le Meurice restaurant at Hotel Le Meurice in Paris. It was there he moved into the select group of top chefs, winning a third Michelin star.

Just recently, Alléno has also opened another STAY in Beijing and the 101 Tower in Taipei.
