ORSON VERGNAUD

EXECUTIVE HEAD CHEF

Born in Paris and growing up in Toulouse, Orson has a degree in mathematics. After helping a friend in the kitchen, he never went back to his original career plans and instead, went on to gain a cooking degree in Toulouse.

Working under Paul Walsh as Senior Sous at City Social was a career-changing opportunity for Orson, which was followed by his first Head Chef position at Le Pont de la Tour. As a chef, he is inspired by Frederic Anton’s food presentation and Matt Abé's commitment and dedication to the industry.

Orson loves everything about his job. From the food creation, leading and nurturing his team, discovering new things every day; you can never stop learning; you can always be better. When he is not in the kitchen, Orson spends his time off with his family, from playing Barbie to teaching times table.
