Vincent Schmit

Today, Vincent Schmit is Head Chef of 114 Faubourg. That role places him inside a dining room whose character comes from circulation: Paris outside, hospitality inside, and the kitchen open to the room rather than set apart from it. The work here is to keep the cuisine exact while preserving the feeling of welcome that defines the address. At 114 Faubourg, the chef’s task is not only to run service, but to maintain a rhythm in which technique and conviviality support one another.

At 114 Faubourg, Schmit is Chef de Cuisine, overseeing a cuisine that carries the energy of Parisian life without losing the comfort of a place made to host. The open kitchen is central to that balance, making the cooking visible and keeping the room in constant contact with the work. Schmit’s position sits in the middle of that exchange: the city’s pace, the restaurant’s warmth, and the clear discipline needed to keep both in step. The result is a room whose character depends on shared proximity, where the dining experience is shaped as much by atmosphere as by execution.
