Patrick Martin

Coming Up

The technical development and opening of Le Cordon Bleu schools in Mexico and Tokyo gave Patrick Martin a working base in school building, operational discipline, and the transfer of standards across markets. Those assignments were followed by a period in Paris, where he led several restaurants in Paris at Charlot Restaurant / Restaurant Ledoyen / Dalloyau / Flo Prestige in Paris. Taken together, the career points to a career built on mobility, adaptation, and the repeatable mechanics of running kitchens and institutions in different cities.

Where They Are Now

Implementation is the core of Patrick Martin’s current remit: setting standards, coordinating execution, and keeping the school’s technical work aligned across moving parts. In São Paulo, that means holding Le Cordon Bleu’s framework against local realities, including suppliers, ingredients, and the expectations that shape the market. The emphasis on local sourcing gives the work a practical edge, while charcuterie keeps the focus on a craft where detail, consistency, and the quality of the raw material matter from the start.

In Their Words That kind of close oversight describes the environment around the work: technical, direct, and built on constant follow-through. For a school project, the point is not opening day alone, but the steady alignment of leadership, method, and execution. “We are trying to use only local, fresh, and the best ingredients that we can find.” The line is plain, and that is the point. It frames Patrick Martin’s approach in practical terms: source carefully, work with what is fresh, and do not dilute the standard.
