Henrique Leis is an old, perennial rocker. A born chef who grew up in Rio de Janeiro, where he met Paul Bocuse, at the time a young kitchen hand at the Hotel Le Meridien, who he convinced of his vocation, capacity for work and talent. He traveled with the top chef to Collonges au Mont d’Or, where he worked for a long time while furthering his training. These credentials and contacts allowed him to have subsequent stints in other temples, such as La Maison Troisgros and Georges Blanc, establishments that made him a master with distinction.
