Guillaume Galliot
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."
Victor Petiot
The Operations and Beverage Consultant at 1929 by GG—a seasoned expert in hospitality and beverage service. His career began at the Michelin three-star restaurant Le Cinq at the Four Seasons Hotel George V in Paris, and seven years ago, he made Hong Kong his home. Passionate in his description of 1929 by GG, Victor calls it a “must-visit destination” where historical architecture, French savoir-faire, and modern energy harmoniously converge.
When it comes to wine, Victor follows a simple yet discerning rule: only select bottles he would personally enjoy. With this principle at heart, he has built close partnerships with a number of wineries across France and Europe, enabling 1929 by GG to import distinctive, high-quality wines directly. Sustainability is also one of his key values—every wine selected must align with sustainable practices.
The second-floor Bar Lounge at 1929 by GG was thoughtfully curated by Victor to take guests on an inspired journey along the Spicy Road, evoking the spirit of early 20th-century Asia. Signature cocktails are presented from vintage Louis Vuitton trunks, while refined music and elegant bites elevate the experience into a stylish moment of escape. Among them, his personal favorite—the Negroni—has also become one of the bar’s signatures.
