Recipes for success: Chef Cyril Lignac offers advice and a tasty sea bream recipe

DUBAI: Cyril Lignac — the French chef, restaurateur and media personality — opened a Dubai branch of his acclaimed French-Asian fusion restaurant Bar des Prés earlier this year, following its success in Paris and London.

Originally from the Aveyron region in southern France, Lignac trained under several established chefs before opening his first Paris restaurant, Le Quinzième, in 2005. Since then, he has developed a diverse portfolio that includes restaurants, patisseries, a chocolatier and a cooking school.

Lignac is also widely recognized for his work in television — he has appeared on several cooking and baking programs, including “Tous en Cuisine,” in which he cooked live from his home kitchen during the COVID-19 lockdowns — and for authoring several cookbooks.
