The story

From Nice to Miami Beach.

Jérôme Abraham is a French culinary artist trained at the world-renowned Lycée Hôtelier Paul Augier in Nice. His career has carried him through France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong, where he cooked and led kitchens for several Michelin Star-winning restaurants.

As Executive Chef, he has crafted menus, written recipes, designed plating, and trained entire brigades — acting as both the head of the kitchen and the heart of the restaurant. His cooking honors traditional French technique while weaving in the flavors and methods of the countries he has worked in, always with respect for origin, season, and quality.

He arrived in the United States in 2021 as Executive Chef at Atrium Dumbo in New York, cooked through Florida with RDG Groupe at AVA MediterrAegean and MILA, and has run Lavish Gastronomy Privé from Miami since December 2022 for dinners, weddings and yacht events.
