Julien Gradoz

As the son of a restaurateur, Julien discovered the art of fine dining from a very early age. After his studies in a French hotel school, Julien met many chefs, from the most humble to the most famous.

After working as a pastry chef in a two-star restaurant, Julien decided to join the Alain Ducasse group and continued his career at the Louis XV restaurant in Monaco and the Alain Ducasse restaurant in Paris. After a stint working in the Prime Minister's service at the Hôtel de Matignon, his career continued in France and abroad. 

After several years working in this sector, Julien's passion for the culinary arts and his desire to pass on his knowledge and skills to the next generation have led him into the field of education and the doors of EHL where he now works as a Senior lecturer. Julien won the Catering World Cup in 2017.
