French-born Guillaume Brahimi is one of Australia’s most popular and acclaimed chefs. He trained under Michelin-starred chef Joel Robuchon in Paris before moving to Sydney in the 1990s.

In late 2001, Guillaume won the prestigious contract to take over the flagship restaurant at the Sydney Opera House, Bennelong, and, after a refurbishment, opened this spectacular venue in November 2001 as Guillaume at Bennelong.The restaurant went on to win almost every major accolade in Australian food, as well as international recognition. It was named by Conde Nast Traveller as one of the top 50 new restaurants in the world and by 2003 held Two Chef Hats in the Sydney Morning Herald’s Good Food Guide.

Guillaume at Bennelong had its last service on New Year’s Eve 2013 and Brahimi and his acclaimed team opened a new restaurant, Guillaume, in May 2014. Located in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs in Paddington.

In 2009 Guillaume formed a partnership with Crown Entertainment Complex (Melbourne) and open Bistro Guillaume. In September 2012, Guillaume opened his second Bistro Guillaume in Crown Perth.

In 2010, Guillaume authored his first book, Guillaume: Food for Friends, and in 2012 published his second book, French Food Safari, a celebration of the incredible breadth and diversity of French food traditions that was also a television series on SBS.

Guillaume is also renowned for his huge commitment to several charities.  He is an active board member of The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse and the Bestest Foundation, and also participated in the 2013 Sydney to Hobart aboard the Perpetual Loyal Foundation yacht, which raised a significant amount for charity.
