As part of its “World Class Chefs” initiative, Qatar Tourism in collaboration with Qatar Airways, Qatar Aircraft Catering company (QACC) and Kings of Kitchen, is hosting two of France’s most renowned chefs, Jean Francois Berard and Gabriel Degenne in Qatar. The initiative, which was launched in October, aims to host high-profile chefs from around the world.

Chef Gabriel Degenne is amongst the ranks of well renowned chefs in France. He started his culinary career at the age of 12 before working in numerous restaurants across Paris including: Le Petit Zinc, and Le Pastel. In 2013, he joined Le Ciste restaurant at the prestigious Chateau de la Begude hotel, and during his tenure the restaurant was awarded 13.5 points and 2 toques by the restaurant guide Gault & Millau, and a Michelin Guide plate. Since 2019, Degenne has been serving as the Executive Chef of the Mouratoglou Hotel and Resort in the south of France.
