🇫🇷 Cheval D’Or, Paris : mark my words, Chef Hanz Gueco is one of the greatest and his rise has only just begun.
The Australian-Filipino Chef took over Cheval d’Or in 2023 and every meal I’ve had there has been nothing less than extraordinary.
His cooking is just so playful in how he marries two continents in this tiny restaurant. It’s smart, audacious, and mind-boggingly delicious. Europe and Asia. Embodied for instance in this extravagant Crêpe suzette-Peking Duck. And don’t sleep on the fantastic natural wine list.
Then you look at this insane resumé where he trained under David Kinch, Bjorn Frantzén and Ryugin - technique, soul.
The energy of the kitchen, the service, the food left us leaving with a smile.
Year of the horse they said! 🐎
