16 Carlos Place, London, W1K 2AL

For many years the restaurant at the Connaught has been one of London’s greatest gastronomic experiences. Now, Hélène Darroze, one of France’s most distinguished chefs, has been named Executive Chef and the Connaught’s love affair with gastronomy is about to enter a new, exciting phase. Hélène currently holds two Michelin stars at her restaurant ‘Hélène Darroze’ on the Left Bank in Paris and when the restaurant opens on July 14th 2008 it will be known as ‘Hélène Darroze at the Connaught’ which, like the Coburg Bar, will be designed by Parisian designer India Mahdavi.

Reviews for Helene Darroze at The Connaught

http://agirlhastoeat.com/helene-darroze-one-star-michelin-restaurant-review

Hélène Darroze is one of the leading female chefs in the world. Her restaurant in Paris, Restaurant Hélène Darroze, holds two Michelin stars, and she gained a further star for her restaurant at The Connaught in 2009. This 41 year old single mum's career as a chef started later than that of many other chefs as Darroze never aspired to be a chef until her mid-twenties. Initially deciding to follow in her father's footsteps, she trained to become the general manager of their family-owned Relais & Château hotel and restaurant in Villeneuve-de-Marsan in Southwest France. It wasn’t until 1990, when Darroze began working for Alain Ducasse at his three Michelin starred Le Louis XV in Monaco, that her path took a turn.

"There is a place for a girl in the world of gastronomy, and you are the one." - Alain Ducasse
