Biography

Pacaud was born on September 29, 1947. He grew up in an orphanage, and in April 1962 he began to work as a kitchen hand for Eugénie Brazier at her restaurant near Lyon. She encouraged him and gave him his early training.[1]

He continued his training at the Paris restaurant La Méditerranée, then joined La Coquille as second chef in 1973 and then the Vivarois, under chef Claude Peyrot.[2]

In 1981, he opened his first restaurant, Ambroisie, in the rue de Bièvre in the 5th arrondissement of Paris. The Michelin Guide awarded him a first star the following year, a second one year later and a third in 1986. He opened his second Ambroisie in the former "Hotel des Luynes" in the Place des Vosges in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.[2]
