Guillaume Galliot is a Frenchman with a deep passion for the terroir of Asia. From a young age, he demonstrated an interest and talent for cooking. He once worked at the renowned three-Michelin-star restaurant Jardin des Sens in France.

Guillaume firmly believes that even the most ordinary ingredients can reveal extraordinary qualities. With over 20 years of experience in Asia’s culinary scene, Guillaume’s career has taken him to Singapore, Beijing, Macau, Hong Kong, and Bangkok, where he has gained extensive experience as a Michelin-starred chef. His mastery of French culinary techniques is exceptional, and he seamlessly integrates the flavors of local ingredients.

Years of working and living in this part of the world have made him fall in love with its culture and cuisine, which inspired his decision to open his own restaurant in Shanghai to present his culinary philosophy.

​”I’m thrilled to open a French restaurant in such a historically rich building. Shanghai, like France, has distinct seasons and diverse ingredients. At 1929, we respect every ingredient, and I hope to offer sincere food that allows every guest who comes here to enjoy a wonderful time together.”
