About L'atelier des Chefs

L'atelier des Chefs

L'atelier des Chefs was created in 2004 by French brothers Nicolas and Francois Bergerault. Nicolas and Francois noticed that the French were falling out of love with cooking.


So, combining their creativity with business acumen the Bergerault brothers launched the business and revitalised the young, French urbanites relationship with cooking and enticed people 'back to the kitchen'. The first L'atelier des Chefs opened on rue de Penthièvre in Paris by offering a thirty minute hands-on cooking experience, known as L'en cas. Never before could people take part in a cooking class for no more than thirty minutes, in a convivial 'fun' environment at lunchtime! Success was immediate and the Paris atelier was the first of twelve other cookery schools to open in France, Dubai, and of course London in less than five years.

To date, more than 150 000 people have taken cookery classes and enjoyed the full experience of cooking, sharing and learning. At L'atelier des Chefs, we pride ourselves on the fact that everyone who enters the kitchen is taught by a highly skilled professional Chef. The first Chef to launch L'atelier des Chefs in Paris, for example, was Jean Sébastien Bompoil who before joining us was formerly senior sous-Chef at the Ritz in Paris.
