Chez Charles' gastronomic concept gets more exciting

The company inducts two Michelin star chefs at the helm and unveils a newly launched catering division, new-look retail website and kitchen facility with lunch space

Chez Charles, the Dubai-based purveyor of fine foods and quality service, is expanding its senior culinary team capabilities to coincide with the launch of its new-look website and catering service.
A dual purpose, brand new kitchen catering facility located in the Business Bay, The Lunch Room, will be the hub for the catering division's food production as well as providing a dedicated lunch space that allows customers to enjoy the many dishes offered by the creative Chez Charles team. In addition, the space can also be hired exclusively by small groups for one-of-a-kind private functions.
Targeting corporates and private clients will be an integral part of Chez Charles' new catering division, which is being positioned as a Michelin star service delivering an unforgettable experience for a wide range of corporate functions and social gatherings including live cooking station set-ups, buffet events and standing cocktails.
"Customisation is at the heart of our offering and we plan to redefine and refine the way that catering is perceived for both small and large scale functions. This will be enhanced by ensuring that we continue to place extra attention on recruiting guest-facing staff who live, breathe and deliver our service philosophy to provide a seamless experience from the first amuse bouche to the final bite," explained Charles Boghos, Founder, Chez Charles.
Leading this latest addition to the Chez Charles repertoire and heading up the Culinary Division is French national, Sylvain Gohier, who will utilise years of Michelin-starred expertise garnered from his previous tenure at the renowned Le Quartier Gourmand, in Burgundy, France.
"The UAE gourmet food scene is no longer confined to five-star hotels or restaurants. With companies like Chez Charles, Dubai foodies now have more opportunities than ever before to indulge their personal passion for quality ingredients," said Gohier.
Joining him is newly appointed Executive Chef, Jérémy Degras, a former colleague and ex-head chef at Le Quartier Gourmand. Between them the two chefs share almost two decades' experience leading Michelin-star dining destinations across France.
Chez Charles also offers a full event management service that runs the entire spectrum of culinary provision from floral arrangements and cutlery/crockery to specialist event planners. The details can be viewed on the company's website www.chezcharles.ae, which also includes the Chez Charles online shop.
