66 February 2019 www.bahrainthismonth.com tablehopping Yann Bernard Lejard has been named executive chef of The Ritz-Carlton, Bahrain. He will oversee the full menu creation and operations of the culinary division, including 130 chefs, 11 restaurants, in-room dining and banquet catering. Daring, unique, and playful, are just a few words that come to mind when experiencing one of chef Yann’s signature dishes. Like a modern-day disruptor turning the simplicities of food into plated works of our art, his talents have taken him across Europe, into major MichelinStarred restaurants, before arriving to the region, first in Saudi and then to Bahrain in 2014 when he assumed the role of Chef de Cuisine for the award-winning Plums restaurant. Born in Paris, France, Lejard began expressing himself through street art, taking inspiration from the likes of legend Jackson Pollock. Eventually becoming a chef by the age of 16, it was then that he found food to be a catalyst for artistic expression and where his signature, abstract style of “splattering” sauce on a plate was born. Fast forward to the era of social media, Lejard’s accounts @YBLinc have since amassed a foodie cultist following of 120k fans, and those who can’t wait to see what he does next. In addition to being frequently tapped as a guest chef for master classes and pop-up restaurants throughout North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, he has also been a finalist at Le Taittinger Prix Culinaire in Switzerland, along with a ranking in the notable Gault & Millau restaurant guide, amongst other accolades.
