1. Chef Dominique Crenn Appointed Culinary Curator of Les Bateaux Belmond
Les Bateaux Belmond is delighted to announce the appointment of Chef Dominque Crenn as its first culinary curator from the 2025 season. With three Michelin stars and recognised as one of TIME’s 100 most influential people in the world, Chef Crenn champions innovation, sustainability, and equality in the kitchen.
Her culinary artistry is deeply rooted in her personal journey, drawing inspiration from her French upbringing, particularly summers spent in Brittany, where Crenn developed a profound connection to water.
As part of her role, Chef Crenn will curate two signature menus for the boats in the Burgundy, Champagne and South of France regions, each featuring a specially crafted starter, main course and dessert. Chef Crenn’s menus will highlight seasonal ingredients that celebrate the heritage and culture of these regions. She shares, “I am thrilled to collaborate with Les Bateaux Belmond to curate a one-of-a-kind dining experience that weaves together the beauty of the French countryside with my own culinary philosophy.
The menus I’ve designed celebrate the finest local ingredients and time-honoured techniques to pay homage to the region’s rich heritage. Together with Belmond, I hope to create lasting memories through unforgettable cuisine.”
