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
Victor Petiot’s journey began at the Michelin three-star restaurant LE CINQ in Paris. Seven years ago, he moved to Hong Kong, blending French cuisine with Asian culture. Now, he embarks on a new chapter in Shanghai, co-founding 1929 by GG with Chef Guillaume.
Describing Guillaume’s cuisine as intuitive, generous, and precise, Victor carefully curates rare wines from France and Europe to complement each dish. Inspired by the spice routes of the early 20th century, he crafts unique cocktails with exotic flavors at the restaurant’s bar.
We look forward to welcoming you soon at 1929 by GG, where we can enjoy on a delightful journey of wine, cocktails, and cultural fusion together.
