    Coming Up

    Ferrandi Paris gave Hugo Souchet the discipline behind his cooking: pace, exactitude, and a working respect for structure. The training there shows in a style that favors control at the pass and technique that stays calm rather than decorative. In that sense, the line is clear early on—careful, measured, and built through repetition. Since 2017, Les Prés d'Eugénie - Maison Guérard has been the setting for that discipline in practice, with Hugo Souchet holding the role of Head Chef / direction des cuisines. The position asks for a steady command of service, and his work there has been defined by that kind of control: focused, restrained, and attentive to the standards the house already carries. The title signals responsibility, but the work itself is in the daily management of timing, focus, and consistency. At Les Prés d'Eugénie - Maison Guérard, the kitchen operates inside a house with its own expectations and reputation, and Hugo Souchet's task is to work within that framework without overstatement. His style, shaped at Ferrandi Paris and refined in service, reads as exacting and composed: a kitchen language built on poise, not noise.
