The Chef
Jean-Baptiste Simonne,
a French story.
« My mother always told me… 'If you're going to cook for someone, make sure to do it with love', and that is the principle I live by as a Chef. »— Chef JBS
Born in the south of France, trained under the legacy of Chef Paul Bocuse and the techniques of Meilleur Ouvrier de France, Jean-Baptiste Simonne brings a decade of experience in luxury hospitality, restaurant openings and guest-focused service.
He doesn't just cook. He composes a moment — the rhythm of the courses, the warmth of the room, the small details no one else would notice.
« I believe food carries an energy. I always make sure to give my best energy to the settings & the meals I prepare. »— Chef JBS
