About The Chef
Charles born in France in 1973,grew up in the countryside of France, in between Normandie, the Alpes, Brittany and the loire vallée, after 4 years in the French clay Pigeons shooting team and professional shooter, I decided to become a chef.
Got my diplomas in 8 months instead of 4 years, I mostly worked in Michelin star restaurants.
After 3 years with Alain Ducasse both in Paris and Monte Carlo, i came to South Africa on holiday in 1998.
I opened the Marine Hotel (relais & château) in Hermanus in 1999 as Head chef.
At the age of 27 I opened my own restaurant in Cape Town. A few years later I sold it and moved to Moscow where I opened 4 restaurants for a business man.
Came back to CpT and started a consulting company which made me travel to India, Seychelles, Mali, Tanzania, Morocco, Norway.
Since about 10 years now I share my time between Paris at the Hotel George V and as private chef in Cape Town.
May my passion become your pleasure
