3:00 pm – 4:30 pm EXECUTIF CHEF JEAN-CHARLES DUBOIS, BALZAC BRASSERIE (SINGAPORE)
Born into a family of chefs in Angers, Loire Valley, Chef Jean-Charles Dubois’s interest in food
started in his family’s kitchen in France. With over 20 years of culinary experience under his
belt, Chef Jean-Charles has worked at several Michelin-star restaurants in Paris, including
Jacques Cagne and L’Espadon at The Ritz. In 2004, he joined the Raffles Hotel as Chef de
Cuisine at the Raffles Grill. In 2009, Chef Jean-Charles ventured out on his own to set up The
French Kitchen, delivering his popular brand of French cuisine to local diners.
Chef Jean-Charles was appointed in France as first runner up for the 'Best Chef in France'
award category by Le Chef Magazine. He also earned the World Gourmet Summit's 'Rising
Chef of the Year' award in 2007. Three years later, the French Ministry of Agriculture
decorated him with the title of, ‘Chevalier dans l’Ordre du Merite Agricole’, for his contributions in promoting French
cuisine outside of France. Then, in 2011, he was appointed as brand ambassador of luxury kitchen appliance brand,
Gaggenau, which he continues to represent today.
Chef Jean-Charles brings his culinary philosophy of comforting homestyle French cuisine to the Balzac Brasserie’s kitchen as
its Executive Chef. He maintains his individual style and approach to food, combining the modern techniques he has learnt
along the way with his love for the freshest and most distinctive of ingredients.
In April 2013, Chef Jean-Charles achieved his dream of contributing to a children’s charity when he co-authored a children’s
cookbook with a sense of adventure, titled Around the World with Sophie and Remy. Sales proceeds are donated to Open
Book, a non-governmental organisation behind a library in Phnom Penh that provides a safe place for all to read, including
children who live on the city’s streets.
