More information
Hélène Darroze (born 23 February 1967) is a French chef. She has two Michelin stars and three restaurants, Hélène Darroze at The Connaught in London and Restaurant Hélène Darroze in Paris and Moscow.
In 1990, after graduating from university, Darroze began working for Alain Ducasse in the office of the Le Louis XV restaurant in Monaco, where she was convinced to enter the kitchen by Ducasse. It was her first time working anywhere other than her family restaurant and she later said that she was working in the office about half the time. After working for Ducasse for three years, she returned to her family's restaurant and kept its existing Michelin star. After the restaurant suffered financial difficulties and closed in 1999, she opened Restaurant Hélène Darroze in Rue d'Assas, Paris and won her first Michelin star in 2001, picking up a second in 2003. The second star was lost in the 2010 version of the guide.

In 2008, Darroze was named as the new chef at the Connaught in London, replacing Angela Hartnett, who had operated Angela Hartnett at The Connaught there on behalf of Gordon Ramsay Holdings. Darroze took over as part of a £70m refurbishment of the hotel and, in addition to the restaurant, she is also responsible for the hotel's catering services. Hélène Darroze at The Connaught was panned by restaurant critics when it first opened. Food critic Jay Rayner described the food there as "Two of the very worst dishes ever to be served to me at this level." Despite this, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2009, and then a second star in 2011.
In 2012 Darroze was admitted into the French Legion of Honour as a Chevalier (Knight) by President Nicolas Sarkozy.
