Pavilions Phuket to Host 2-Star Michelin  Chef in January

The Pavilions, Phuket, a member of Relais & Chateaux, will host 2-Star Michelin Chef Philippe Etchebest from Hostellerie de Plaisance in Saint Emilion, France from 13 to 16 January 2010.

Philippe will prepare a gourmet menu on the evenings of 13 to 16 January and will share his passion and culinary expertise during a cooking class on the 15th at the Verandah Restaurant.

“Meilleur Ouvrier de France” in 2000, Philippe Etchebest earned his first Michelin star while working at the Chateau des Reynats in 2002. Since 2004, he shares his talent at the Hostellerie de Plaisance, has been promoted to Grand Chef Relais & Chateaux in 2007 and obtained his 2nd Michelin star in 2008. He was also graded 18/20 Three “Toques” Guide Gault & Millau in 2009.

Philippe creates a different menu every day according to what he buys in the markets. He also brings touches from his various travels with great respect for local produces. The architecture of the dishes is very important to him but what primes is the taste and how the different dishes complement each other.

Philippe said, “I chose this profession because I like to share; I like new discoveries and adapting my cuisine to the constant evolution of food.”

The Pavilions, Phuket is perched on a hilltop overlooking the Andaman Sea, just a few minutes from Bang Tao and Layan Beach.
