At the age of 16, he had developed his passion for food to such a level that he knew he had found his vocation. A graduate of the hotel school in Reunion Island, he started his career at the 1-Michelin-star Château de Marçay in Chinon, France, a member of the prestigious Relais & Châteaux Association. In 2001, Chef Alex then joined Alain Passard at the famous 3-Michelin-star restaurant L’Arpège.

Thereafter, Chef Alex left for Vienna, near Lyon, to join Patrick Henriroux and his team at the 2-Michelin-star restaurant La Pyramide.
