Brasserie Margot and Bar Margot at Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta Welcome Christophe Truchet as Chef de Cuisine

Brasserie Margot and Bar Margot welcome Chef Christophe Truchet as Chef de Cuisine, overseeing the culinary program for both concepts at Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta. A native of France with a foundation in classical French cuisine and experience spanning Michelin-starred restaurants and luxury hotels around the world, Truchet brings a thoughtful, disciplined approach that aligns naturally with the restaurants’ modern French identity.

Truchet developed his passion for cooking early, shaped by time spent in the kitchen with his mother and working alongside his father on the family farm. That early connection to ingredients and process inspired a lasting respect for craftsmanship and seasonality, grounded in an understanding of food from its source through execution. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Culinary Arts from Lycée François Rabelais in Lyon, then spent the next decade refining classical technique in respected kitchens across France.

His career includes experience in Michelin-starred restaurants such as Le Bristol Paris, La Villa Archange, La Chèvre d’Or, and L’Amaryllis, followed by international leadership roles at Pudong Shangri-La Shanghai and One&Only The Palm Dubai, where he collaborated with Chef Yannick Alléno. In the United States, Truchet spent nearly six years with Hilton and Waldorf Astoria properties in California and Georgia before holding culinary leadership roles in Atlanta, including within the city’s corporate dining sector.

As Chef de Cuisine, Truchet leads day-to-day culinary operations across Brasserie Margot and Bar Margot, guiding their continued evolution while reinforcing a shared French brasserie foundation. His focus centres on execution, consistency, and mentorship, supporting the kitchen team on the line while maintaining a guest-centric approach that reflects Four Seasons standards without feeling rigid or formal.

Truchet joins an established culinary leadership team that includes Executive Pastry Chef Eric Snow, whose refined bread and pastry program remains a defining element of the Brasserie Margot experience.

“Chef Christophe brings a confident, grounded leadership style to the kitchen,” says Nancy Chacon, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta.  “He knows that memorable dining experiences start with simple, thoughtful details, respecting the fundamentals of cooking and using the freshest ingredients. Guests will feel his influence and creativity in every dish, with a level of care and consistency that makes every meal special from the moment they sit down.”
