About Chef Sylvestre Wahid

Pakistan-born Sylvestre Wahid was raised in France from the age of nine. His first working kitchen experience was at the insistence of his actively-serving, French Foreign Legion father. During the holidays, Sylvestre and his sister worked in the army kitchen of the officers’ mess. Later, he took to a hotel and cooking school in Nimes and scored a coveted apprenticeship under Thierry Marx of the esteemed Cheval Blanc there.

Sylvestre paved his culinary path through notable and Michelin-starred establishments in France, completed his mandatory military service and spent a few years with Alain Ducasse at the Essex House in New York City. His journey led him back through France, via the Alain Ducasse Training School in Paris. Sylvester then took up positions at the two-Michelin-Star restaurants Oustau de Baumanière, in Baux-de-Provence, and Le Strato, in Courchevel, which finally then led him to the doors of L’Hotel Thoumieux, in Paris.
