Students of the Intensive Professional Program in French Cuisine Serve Lunch at FERRANDI Paris’ "Le Premier" Restaurant

The students of the Intensive Professional Program in French Cuisine at FERRANDI Paris took a significant step in their culinary journey by preparing and serving a full lunch service at Le Premier, the school’s on-campus restaurant.

Located in the heart of the FERRANDI Paris campus, Le Premier is more than just a dining space — it’s a dynamic training ground where students put their skills to the test in a real-world environment. Under the guidance of their chef instructors, students took charge of the kitchen and front-of-house operations, creating a professional and an immersive experience from start to finish.

The lunch was made possible thanks to the expert guidance of two FERRANDI chef instructors. Chef Alexander Dreyer, who led the savory kitchen team, provided close supervision throughout the preparation and service of the lunch menu. Chef Arnaud Bonnefoy, the pastry instructor, oversaw the dessert team, sharing detailed techniques and supporting the students as they crafted refined, restaurant-quality desserts.

 

Both chefs played a crucial role in mentoring the students — giving instructions, answering questions, correcting techniques, and fostering a professional yet supportive environment. Their presence not only ensured the success of the service but also gave students invaluable insight into the expectations and rhythm of a professional kitchen.

From the meticulous preparation of classic French dishes to the polished execution of plating and service, the lunch at Le Premier reflected the high standards of FERRANDI Paris and the dedication of its aspiring chefs.

Congratulations to the students on this impressive achievement — and to everyone who had the chance to enjoy their delicious work.
