Chef Oli Williamson

At 33, British Chef Oli Williamson, winner of the prestigious Roux Scolarship competition, arrives in Bordeaux after three years as Chef de Cuisine at The Fat Duck*** in Bray and two years as Pastry Chef at The Green House** in London.

His challenge: to share a personal and responsible interpretation of French gastronomic classics.

" Having already worked in some of the best restaurants in the world, I feel that the time has come to use the skills I've acquired to develop my own cuisine ," confides the Chef, who is no stranger to expatriation.

Having worked in the kitchens of the Benu*** restaurant in San Francisco and the Zén*** restaurant in Singapore, he is no stranger to mixing influences.

It's an asset he hopes to use to "showcase products and techniques from France ". And it's with all the experience gained from the wastED pop-up restaurant, designed to raise awareness of the issue of food waste, that he hopes to: " Work with producers and colleagues who share a similar, conscious state of mind, as much as a passion for the best produce ".
