The French chef has been awarded the prestigious Michelin star for his relentless pursuit of culinary perfection. Chef Dunand, a culinary icon of Bangkok’s food scene where he earned his first Michelin star, discovered his passion for cooking during his childhood in the mountains of Savoie.
Did Arnaud Dunand Sauthier ever imagine he would reach such heights when he was a young boy, a student at Jacques-Prévert school in Bissy? “I think I always wished for what I have achieved now,” he says confidently.
The Savoyard chef has charted his path with dedication and determination since university, and he expresses gratitude to those who kept the flame alive.
In high school at Bissy, first and foremost, “My teacher, Mr. Casubolo, believed in me and my project.”
Chef Arnaud Dunand worked for fifteen years in France before moving to Thailand, including stints with Georges Blanc in Vonnas, Marc Veyrat at L’Auberge de L’Eridan, and later at Maison Lameloise in Burgundy, before joining Chef Jean-François Piège at the Hotel Crillon in Paris.
After nine years at the helm of the two-star restaurant “Le Normandy” in Bangkok, Chef Arnaud Dunand Sauthier opened a gourmet restaurant and a bistro under the banner “Maison Dunand” in the spring of 2022, with which he earned his first Michelin star in 2023.
