Two French chefs brought in to boost Four Seasons’ culinary expertise

Two French chefs brought in to boost Four Seasons’ culinary expertise

10-August-2016

Four Seasons Resort Seychelles has made two new key appointments in its culinary team, bringing on board Maxime Michaud as executive chef and Alexandre Chersouly as executive pastry chef to lead the culinary operations of the luxury resort.
Arriving on the island in July 2016, both chefs are excited to drive forward the culinary experience at the Petite Anse resort, to deliver fresh concepts and maintain the high quality that Four Seasons Resort Seychelles is known for. Michaud is not new to island life, having previously worked in five-star resorts in Bora Bora and Hawaii. Michaud’s passion for sourcing local ingredients has already seen him take note of the abundance of hibiscus and lemongrass growing in the resort’s grounds and he is fast finding his favourite places around the island to shop for local fruit and fish.
As his first appointment in such a tropical location, Chersouly is looking forward to the challenges his new role will bring. Chersouly joins Four Seasons from a five- star hotel in Biarritz, France, and will now channel his creative flair and dedication into creating the perfect sweet treats to enhance and expand the resort's menus.
General manager Adrian Messerli comments: “I am proud to have such a talented team working in our kitchens, made up of a number of nationalities, including Seychellois, which I am certain will go from strength to strength and continue to deliver exceptional experiences, under the new leadership of Maxime Michaud.”
These new appointments will lead in supporting the dynamic array of dining experiences offered at the resort, including contemporary mediterranean cuisine at the Zez Restaurant and Asian/Creole specialties at the Kannel Restaurant. A sushi lounge and a weekly programme of themed dining events add further variety, with evenings such as a lively Creole night, the famous Fish Market and a family-style Lebanese menu.

Gérard Patti
Assis à la terrasse du Café de l’horloge, en plein cœur de Victoria, décontracté et simple, son propriétaire a partagé avec nous une tranche de vie. Sauvage, naturel, heureux comme un poisson dans l’eau aux Seychelles, allons à la rencontre de ce personnage solitaire et travailleur.
