Le Richemond part of Dorchester Collection, announces the appointment of Sébastien Quazzola as the new pastry chef at Le Jardin. He brings his passion and experience to the kitchen at the regionally acclaimed Mediterranean restaurant located on the picturesque shores of Lake Geneva.
At a young age, French born chef Quazzola worked at his parents’ restaurant in Savoie where his father was an executive chef. Quazzola was encouraged to continue developing these skills in a two-year apprenticeship with Pascal Claret, an acclaimed pastry chef in the area. After graduating with a vocational training certificate and diploma, Quazzola started working for the one Michelin star restaurant, L’auberge Lamartine in Savoie under Pierre Marin. The team at L’auberge Lamartine became a second family and it was there Quazzola built the foundations of his culinary practice.
Quazzola then worked at Chabichou, a two Michelin star restaurant in Courchevel with Michel Rochedy and after two years, worked at l’Auberge Les Morainières in Savoie, another Michelin-starred restaurant right before he joined Le Richemond.
Commenting on his appointment, the 27-year old pastry chef says: “For me, being a pastry chef is about creating an exquisite moment and evoking emotions to bring back a certain memory. I am really excited to be a part of this team and share my passion with Le Richemond’s guests.”
Sylvain Bailly, the executive chef of Le Richemond, and Phillippe Bourrel, the restaurant’s chef, also said, “We are thrilled to have Sébastien join Le Jardin’s team. He brings a strong background of diverse experiences to our team and a passion for baking that is evident in every sweet dish he prepares for our guests.”
Dining at Le Jardin is a refined experience in a sophisticated setting, allowing guests and locals alike to indulge in the carefully crafted menus of Gault et Millau award-winning chefs. Local and seasonal produce is used wherever possible in a diverse menu ranging from delicious fish and meat dishes to homemade pasta. In addition, the restaurant offers a tempting four-course tasting menu.
