Nicolas Stamm-Corby

Nicolas Stamm-Corby has helmed La Fourchette des Ducs since earning its 2 Michelin stars in 2005 — making him one of France's most consistent 2-star chefs. The restaurant occupies a spectacular 1921 half-timbered building originally commissioned by automobile legend Ettore Bugatti and designed by architect Lucien Weissenburger, with René Lalique and Charles Spindler among the craftsmen. Stamm-Corby trained in the classic French tradition and has maintained rigorous standards for two decades. He has been named 'Un des Meilleurs Pâtissiers de France' by Michelin's Passion Dessert selection since 2019, and his team won the Michelin Service Award 2024 for exceptional front-of-house quality.
