Christophe Scheller, Executive Chef at Hôtel du Palais

Following a remarkable career at the helm of the kitchens in the Hyatt Regency Paris Étoile, Christophe Scheller is now Executive Chef at Hôtel du Palais.
A new stage in your career?

With a sense of challenge and responsibility. Running the restaurants of the Atlantic coast's only Palace is a motivating opportunity, I am honoured to contribute to its renown.

Your culinary philosophy?

Using top-quality produce from local terroirs, with care, respect. The goal is simplicity, elegance, precision to enhance authentic flavours.

The guest experience?

F&B Director Alexandre Pons and I aim for a unique experience beyond a simple meal. Each moment must be truly unforgettable.

What best reflects your creativity?

Inspired by the bounty of nature, creating harmonious blends. Aradoa poultry with lobster, white asparagus from the Landes with Osciètre caviar, mousseline sauce.

Given a free hand, what will you propose?

Grilled leak, luke-warm, vinaigrette with mustard, nasturtiums. Then whole baked John Dory, fried courgette flowers, oven-flashed beef-heart tomatoes, lemon sauce, pine kernels. Cheeses and sourdough bread. Finally, roast figs, rosemary, Chantilly cream.

Which song best reflects your cuisine?

Je danse le mia by IAM, a French rap & funk band. Timeless, it blows everyone away.
