About Yannick Alléno
Tradition, excellence and modernity: these three words embody both Yannick Alléno and Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer perfectly. What could be more natural, then, than to ask the internationally-acclaimed, triple-Michelin-starred chef to take over the flagship restaurant at the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo? Especially for the occasion, the famous restaurant has changed its name, becoming Yannick Alléno à l’Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo.
About Richard Lee
In 2019, he accepted the position of executive sous chef at Saison under chef Laurent Gras. Now head chef, Lee has combined his concise and intentional cooking style with Saison's open fire philosophy. He has also worked to make the restaurant industry more accessible by creating a positive and welcoming work environment and advocating for higher pay for his team. He doesn't want his staff, or restaurateurs in general, to feel they have to choose between fulfilling their dreams and making ends meet. Under his leadership, Lee is determined to make Saison a platform for young talent to develop; to move forward and change the industry for the better. Lee is pushing the two Michelin star programme to new heights and is aiming for that third star.
