Pierre Gagnaire, World-Class Chef and Winner of Numerous Michelin Stars, Opens Restaurant in the Waldorf Astoria Berlin CONTACT: Petra Wolf for Waldorf Astoria Berlin Tel. +49 (0)89 - 17 91 90 28 [email protected] Anja Langensiepen for Waldorf Astoria Berlin Tel. + 49 (0)30 - 81 4000-00 [email protected] From the Seine to the Spree: Pierre Gagnaire, world-class chef and winner of numerous Michelin stars, opens restaurant in the Waldorf Astoria Berlin BERLIN/MUNICH, Germany – The best of the best: Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts confirms collaboration with Pierre Gagnaire for the new restaurant in the Waldorf Astoria Berlin, which will open in autumn 2012. The world-renowned Frenchman has eleven Michelin stars in his restaurants, which are located across the world from Tokyo to Paris. He enriches an impressive team of Michelin star chefs in diverse Waldorf Astoria hotels in Europe. Pierre Gagnaire assumes responsibility for the high-concept cuisine and menu of the 80-seater restaurant, which will open in the Waldorf Astoria Berlin under the name Les Solistes by Pierre Gagnaire. The restaurant’s team will be specially trained in Gagnaire’s three-star restaurant in Paris. Often referred to as the “Picasso of French cuisine”, Gagnaire owns and directs highly successful restaurants throughout the world. The legendary Pierre Gagnaire in the Parisian Rue Balzac has consistently been awarded three Michelin stars and has also garnered 19 of a possible 20 Gault Millaut points. Other star restaurants include Sketch in London, Colette in Saint Tropez, Reflets par Pierre Gagnaire in Dubai as well as other eldorados for gourmets in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Seoul, Moscow, Courchevel and Las Vegas. “The Waldorf Astoria introduces a great and peerless name to Berlin, and it gives me great pleasure to bring a sophisticated and unique culinary experience to the people of Berlin and international guests”, states Pierre Gagnaire. Pierre Gagnaire is one of the world’s most influential chefs and a pioneer of fusion cuisine. Pierre Gagnaire does not cook, as much as celebrate: with his creativity and delight in experimentation, the 61-year-old puts many of his younger colleagues in the shade. The top chef has just one style, namely his own, and that is inimitable. His cuisine reflects his life, his emotions and his experiences. He creates unique culinary compositions for the eye and the palate, all of which bear his signature. In the process, Pierre Gagnaire improvises and experiments with dishes and ingredients like a composer, and his “opus” is full of contrasts and surprises. “It is a great honour for us to have won a chef as distinguished and legendary as Pierre Gagnaire for the Waldorf Astoria Berlin”, states Friedrich W. Niemann, general manager of the new world-class hotel in Berlin. “Pierre Gagnaire is not just the ultimate synonym for excellence in the culinary arts, but also, with three Michelin stars, an asset for the whole of Berlin. Waldorf Astoria and Pierre Gagnaire are associated with a luxury and elegance which does justice to the prestigious legacy of the legendary flagship on Park Avenue, Manhattan, and also sets new standards”. With Pierre Gagnaire, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts gains a third star chef in Europe alongside Heinz Beck in La Pergola, the three-star restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel Rome Cavalieri, and Simone Zanoni at the two-star Gordon Ramsay au Trianon Palace, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Versailles. The new Waldorf Astoria Berlin has an impressive range of gastronomy facilities. In addition to the main restaurant by Pierre Gagnaire, the Romanische Café – the legendary meeting place of literati such as Erich Kästner, Bertolt Brecht or Billy Wilder – will open for business once more. The Lang Bar – named after the renowned director Fritz Lang – and the lobby bar Peacock Alley near the legendary Waldorf Astoria grandfather clock complete the range. The five star superior hotel is part of the construction project “Zoofenster”, the aim of which is to revitalize and raise the value of the entire Berlin City West. The luxury hotel is going to have 232 rooms and suites situated on the first 15 floors as well as on the 22nd to 31st floor of the skyscraper made of natural stone and glass. The “Zoofenster”, which has a total of 32 floors, is being built right next to the famous church “Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtniskirche” and the shopping boulevard “Kurfürstendamm”. -###- About Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts WALDORF ASTORIA is Hilton Worldwide’s luxury brand of landmark hotels, with each one as singular and timeless as the brand’s namesake, The Waldorf=Astoria Hotel in New York.

This confusion has arisen because people ignore that the word gastronomy does not mean cuisine, it means knowledge about food. Similar to ‘molecular biology’, molecular gastronomy is a scientific discipline that looks for the mechanisms of phenomena occurring during dish preparation and consumption. As with any other scientific discipline, it can have many applications. One of the first was ‘molecular cuisine’ but since 1994, ‘note by note cuisine’ has also been promoted.

  • Biographie De Pierre Gagnaire
    Biographie de Pierre Gagnaire Né à Apinac (France - Loire) le 09 avril 1950. Pierre Gagnaire grandit dans la Loire. Son père tient un restaurant réputé à Saint- Priest-en-Jarez, dans la banlieue de Saint-Étienne, ce qui donne très jeune au fils le goût de la cuisine. Après une formation de pâtissier, Pierre Gagnaire travaille au sein d'un des restaurants de Paul Bocuse et décide de devenir chef cuisinier. C'est ainsi qu'il retourne à Saint-Priest-en-Jarez et reprend en main le restaurant familial. Après six années passées derrière les fourneaux du Clos fleuri, Pierre Gagnaire ouvre son premier restaurant à Saint-Étienne, à l'âge de 31 ans. La cuisine qu'il propose est d'inspiration très contemporaine, avec des incursions dans la cuisine moléculaire naissante, et le décor des lieux surprend par ses lignes modernes et épurées. Douze ans après l'ouverture, l'établissement obtient sa troisième étoile au Michelin. En 1995, à la suite de difficultés financières, Pierre Gagnaire quitte la région lyonnaise et ouvre un restaurant à Paris, qui rencontre un franc succès et qui lui permet de récupérer rapidement ses trois étoiles. Le cuisinier profite de la notoriété qu'il acquiert pour étendre ses activités en France et à l'international. C'est ainsi que depuis 1996 éclosent de nombreuses enseignes à son nom : - Paris, Le Balzac, Pierre Gagnaire - Paris, Gaya rive gauche par Pierre Gagnaire - Londres, Sketch - Tokyo, Pierre Gagnaire à Tokyo - Hong Kong, Pierre - Courchevel, Pierre Gagnaire pour Les Airelles - Dubaï, Pierre's Bistrot & Bar - Dubaï, Intercontinental Choix Pâtisserie & Restaurant - Séoul, Pierre Gagnaire à Seoul - Las Vegas, Twist by Pierre Gagnaire - Danang (Vietnam), La Maison 1888 - Bordeaux, La Grande Maison de Bernard Magrez / Restaurant Pierre Gagnaire - Shangaï, Le Comptoir de Pierre Gagnaire - La Rochelle, Gaya, Cuisine de bords de mer - Gordes, Peir I Depuis avril 2016, Pierre Gagnaire est chef de La Grande Maison, le restaurant doublement étoilé de Bernard Magrez à Bordeaux.

  • What Makes an Exceptional Cuisine That Worth a Special Journey?
    WHAT MAKES AN EXCEPTIONAL CUISINE THAT WORTH A SPECIAL JOURNEY? Fernando Jorge de Almeida Oliveira Brochado Thesis specially presented for the fulfilment of the degree of Doctor in Tourism Management Supervisor: Professora Doutora Sandra Loureiro, Professor Auxiliar com Agregação, Departamento de Marketing, Operações e Gestão Geral, ISCTE Business School May, 2018 Abstract The food tourism supply chain includes as consumption activities ‘Fine dining’ and as classification schemes the ‘Michelin star system’. Despite the growing interest in luxury dining, there are only a few studies published about the high-end of the restaurant industry. The main objective of study two was to identify the main dimensions of the Michelin Stared Restaurant experiences as revealed by customers’ narratives shared in social media websites in the post-purchase phase of their experience. Moreover, this dissertation aims at studying whether the dimensions of the experience vary according to market segments (client type, gender and age) an according to value ratings. Mixed content analysis methods, combining Leximancer with narrative analysis, were used to identify the main themes in restaurant reviews. Moreover, the main themes were graphically displayed in a concept map. The results were based into two samples, from Portuguese two-star restaurants, and from three star restaurants worldwide. The analysis revealed that 12 main themes describe the fine dining experience, as follows: ‘restaurant’, ‘food service’, ‘menu’, ‘chef’, ‘wine’, ‘meal’, ‘dining’, ‘staff’, ‘feel’, ‘worth’, ‘dessert’ and ‘delicious’. The result also revealed that fine dining customers are not a homogeneous group and that demographics proved to be effective market segmentation variables. Moreover, high and low levels of value ratings are linked with different themes of the experience.
