Alan Geaam, Michelin-starred chef
bio

Born in Liberia, Alan Geaam grew up in Lebanon, in the city of Tripoli. After living through the civil war, he set sail for Paris. With only 200 francs in his pocket and at only 24 years old, he started working in construction. His life took a turn when he replaced an injured chef at a Lebanese restaurant where he was working as a dishwasher. This opportunity marked the beginning of a culinary star-crossed career. In 2007, he became the chef and owner of Auberge Nicolas Flamel in Paris, and went on to open several other establishments, including Restaurant Alan Geaam, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2018. Alan Geaam is a chef with many influences who revisits the classics of French cuisine by blending them with Lebanese tastes and flavors, reinventing the codes of fine dining every day, with a spirit that is gourmet, convivial, and focused on sharing.
