A Pastry Journey with Chef Mikael Turgne: From Cognac to Doha

The prestigious pastry chef Mikael Turgne has recently joined the kitchens of W Doha, bringing with him a rich and refined culinary heritage. Originally from Cognac, near Bordeaux, Mikael grew up immersed in a family tradition where the love for pastry runs deep. With a father who was a pastry chef and a grandfather who was a baker, his path in the world of sweet creations seemed destined.
After completing three years of pastry studies in France, Mikael ventured to Ireland, a key step in his career. There, he explored the culinary gems of Europe and enriched his portfolio with creations that showcased his growing talent. Always seeking new experiences, he then moved to Cyprus, where he quickly made a name for himself as a private chef on some of the world’s most luxurious yachts.
However, Mikael had one dream in mind: to work in the Middle East. He chose W Doha as the perfect destination to fully express his "French Touch". His mission is to redefine the standards of high-end pastry in Qatar, promising to shine a light on his French heritage and expertise.
For Mikael, W Doha is much more than just a new opportunity; it is the chance to bring pastry excellence to life and share his passion with a new audience. A bright future awaits this visionary chef, ready to dazzle with his sweet creations and his flair for innovation.
