The Climb
Pastry in grand hotel settings asks for timing, control, and consistency under service pressure, and Jean-Francois Suteau’s work has been shaped in that register. From 2005 to 2011, he served as Executive Pastry Chef at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, where the title carried both production demands and the responsibility to keep standards aligned across a high-profile house. Since 2011, he has led pastry at The Greenbrier , bringing that same continuity to a property where ceremony and service set the pace. The progression from The Beverly Hills Hotel to The Greenbrier is less a change in direction than a sustained application of the same discipline across two properties. At both houses, Suteau’s role has centered on maintaining polish, reading the rhythm of service, and keeping pastry exact without losing its sense of occasion.
Today
Since 2011, Jean-Francois Suteau has remained Executive Pastry Chef at The Greenbrier . That long tenure gives his current work its continuity and makes the resort the defining venue of his present career. In a profession often marked by movement, his years at The Greenbrier suggest a deeper kind of mastery: one built not only on technique, but on sustaining a standard over time.
Signature
Jean-Francois's signature dishes include Pavlova Cassis Chocolate. The name itself points to the kind of balance his pastry work is associated with: light and rich, sweet and tart, composed for a room where finish matters as much as flavor.
