Nicolas Cegretin

Restaurant Chef - Interim

Originally from France, Nicolas travelled the world to cultivate his passion for cooking. It is his sense of adventure that convinced him to join the Fairmont Tremblant team as Executive Sous-Chef in 2017, as the hotel was in the process of renovating and reinventing its culinary offer. When Choux Gras Brasserie Culinaire was launched in December 2017, Nicolas was a great support to Restaurant Chef Yves-Benoît St-Cyr.

Since 2015 Nicolas was the Restaurant Chef at the renowned Mirèio, an elegant brasserie serving a Provencal inspired cuisine located at the Raffles Hotel in Makati, Philippines.

Before joining Accor, Nicolas of course collected precious years of experience in France, but also was Sous-Chef from 2011 to 2014 at the very authentic restaurant of prestigious La Mamounia, a palace hotel located in Marrakech, Morocco.

While his roots were in France, Nicolas sees himself more as a citizen of the world and his rich background made taking care of our planet a daily priority. Wherever his career brought him, Nicolas always sought after local suppliers and colleagues that shared the same values. While Nicolas and his wonderful wife Darine made great friends through the course of their trek in Europ, in Africa and in Asia, we feel lucky that it is in Tremblant that they have found a true welcoming home.

With Nicolas at the head of the experienced Choux Gras kitchen brigade, no doubt that our loyal guests will continue to enjoy unique authentic culinary experiences, until the new Restaurant Chef joins our team.
