i. Biography
Guillaume Scheer has been chef at Les Plaisirs Gourmands in Strasbourg, France, since 2018, where the kitchen is defined by modern, creative cuisine. He has also been chef in charge of the kitchen at 1741 in Strasbourg, France, a role that places him in the line of chefs who shape a restaurant’s rhythm, tone, and culinary identity as much as its plates.
Coming Up
Early appointments in serious dining kitchens show how a chef’s authority is built: through repetition, service pressure, and time spent inside brigades that demand precision. Guillaume Scheer moved from sous-chef at L’Étrier du Royal Barrière to sous-chef at Pavillon Ledoyen before becoming chef in charge of the kitchen at 1741. Taken together, those positions mark a progression from supporting execution to broader responsibility, where timing, standards, and decision-making have to hold under service conditions. By 2018, that progression had brought him to Les Plaisirs Gourmands in Strasbourg, France, where Guillaume Scheer took on the chef role and the responsibility of guiding the restaurant’s modern, creative cuisine. The move reads as a shift from inherited structure toward a more clearly defined authorship, while still grounded in the discipline built in earlier kitchens. In Strasbourg, that language matters: it points to a contemporary kitchen that values invention, but keeps that invention tied to control.
Where They Are Now
Since 2018, Guillaume Scheer has led Les Plaisirs Gourmands as chef, shaping the restaurant through its daily service and longer-term identity. The kitchen in Strasbourg is described as modern and creative, a concise way of saying the work is current in outlook without losing method or precision. At Les Plaisirs Gourmands, the chef’s role extends beyond the composition of dishes. It includes setting tempo, maintaining standards, and carrying the kitchen’s intent from prep through service. The route from L’Étrier du Royal Barrière and Pavillon Ledoyen to 1741 and then to Les Plaisirs Gourmands shows a career formed by accumulation. In Strasbourg, that experience now has a fixed address and a clear working language.
