Guillaume Lebrun serves as the head chef at the Michelin-starred Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud located in Dublin, Ireland.
Originating from a rural region in France, where his family ran a bakery, Lebrun shifted his focus to culinary arts after an allergy hindered him from inheriting the family business. He honed his skills at a two-star establishment in Paris before meeting Patrick Guilbaud, who was in search of a chef for his new restaurant in Dublin.
Lebrun became part of Restaurant Patrick Guilbaud's team in 1981. Although he encountered initial difficulties, he persevered with the encouragement and backing of Guilbaud. Among his signature creations are Lobster Ravioli, Roast Challans Duck designed for two guests, and the Assiette Gourmande au Chocolat.
