Chef Ahmad Zoghbi brings over a decade of culinary experience and a deep-rooted passion for authentic Lebanese and Levantine cuisine to his role as Restaurant Chef at Aura, the contemporary Lebanese restaurant at Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at The First Residence.
From a young age, Zoghbi was captivated by the art of cooking, inspired by the rich aromas and vibrant flavours of his hometown, Beirut. His early fascination with traditional Lebanese dishes evolved into a professional journey through some of the Middle East’s most prestigious kitchens, where he refined his craft and developed his signature style, modern interpretations of authentic Levantine flavours presented with elegance and precision.
Throughout his career, Chef Ahmad has mastered the balance between innovation and authenticity. “I believe that every dish tells a story,” he says. “My goal is to preserve the soul of Lebanese cuisine while introducing contemporary touches that surprise and delight our guests.”
At Aura, he leads a talented culinary team dedicated to offering an exceptional dining experience that celebrates Lebanese culture and hospitality. His meticulous attention to detail ensures that every plate reflects a perfect harmony of flavour, texture, and presentation.
Working with Four Seasons represents a milestone in Zoghbi’s career. “It’s an honour to be part of a brand known for its excellence and commitment to quality,” he shares. “Being able to represent Lebanese cuisine at such a prestigious property motivates me to push boundaries and create memorable experiences for our guests.”
When he’s not in the kitchen, Chef Ahmad enjoys exploring new culinary trends, traveling to discover regional flavours, and spending quality time with family and friends. For him, cooking remains more than a profession; it’s a lifelong passion and a way to share joy through food.
