Mr Guilbaud was born in 1952 in the Cognac region of France. His father was from a farming family while his mother was a seamstress. He began his career working in his mother’s bistro in Caen and credits here for his passion for cooking, putting great store on preparation and presentation. In 1997, he moved the restaurant to the new five-star Merrion Hotel that had been developed by successful Irish businessmen Lochlann Quinn and Martin Naughton, who were also shareholders in Mr Guilbaud’s restaurant.
