On November 6–7, Gastromasa 2025, held at the Haliç Congress Center under the theme “Stories of 10 Years,” will welcome Julien Royer, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary French cuisine. Born into a fourth-generation farming family, Royer spent his childhood harvesting from his family’s gardens, and this deep connection to nature continues to shape the foundation of his culinary philosophy today.
After beginning his career alongside culinary icons such as Michel Bras, Royer went on to build an international path that eventually led him to Singapore, where he founded Odette, a restaurant that has left a lasting mark on the global gastronomy scene. Awarded three Michelin stars, Odette is regarded as one of the most sophisticated ambassadors of modern French cuisine. Royer has also expanded his vision with Claudine in Singapore and a Michelin-starred French restaurant in Hong Kong, further advancing his global culinary journey.
