Adeline Grattard serves as the executive chef of the Michelin-recognized establishment Yam'Tcha located in Paris.
She was born on 8 February 1978 in Dijon, France. Grattard completed her culinary education at the Ferrandi School of French Cuisine and gained experience working with Pascal Barbot at L'Astrance. Her culinary style was notably shaped by her husband, Chi Wah Chan, who hails from Hong Kong. The couple spent two years living in Hong Kong, where Grattard engaged closely with local chefs and absorbed the region’s gastronomic traditions.
Upon their return to Paris, they launched Yam'Tcha in the Les Halles neighborhood in 2009. The restaurant’s name is derived from the Cantonese term "Yum cha", meaning dining accompanied by tea. Chan plays a key role in incorporating tea pairings into the fixed-price menu. Within a year, Yam'Tcha garnered significant praise and was awarded a Michelin star in 2010.
In 2016, Grattard was featured on Netflix’s series Chef's Table: France.
