Recipient for 2004


Philippe Pau
L’Aigle d’Or Restaurant



Born in Bordeaux, Philippe Pau’s humble beginnings saw him working as a commis barman, dishwasher, and later a trainee as a waiter. His break came when he was given the chance to learn the ropes from two-Michelin starred restaurant Relais & Châteaux in Brittany. With his newly acquired skills, he moved to England and worked his way up to restaurant manager in restaurants such as the Lucknam Park Country House Hotel, where he stayed for four years. In need for a change of environment, Pau shifted his interest to Dubai, and then to The Plantation Club in Seychelles. He finally made his way to Singapore in 1997 and made his way around the service platform of restaurants like The Cellar Door Restaurant & Deli, ASIAN, and L’Aigle d’Or Restaurant, Berjaya Duxton Hotel Singapore, where he is operations manager.

Finalists for 2004


Jean-Philippe Joye
DUO



Looking at the flair that he possesses, it might surprise one to know that Jean-Philippe Joye never had any formal training in the hospitality line. But hard work and a passion for what he does have certainly pushed him up the competitive food and beverage ladder. Having held positions at Club Mediterranean in over 14 different resorts, Salut French restaurant and Mandarin Hotel Singapore, Joye aims to adopt a casual yet refined approach to his service – one that is not imposing since privacy is the priority at his current post, DUO.



Stephane Colleoni
Senso Ristorante & Bar



Stephane Colleoni is restaurant manager and one of four owners of the most elegant Italian restaurant along Club Street, Senso. Colleoni’s six years spent in Singapore has weaved an intimate relationship between him and the local restaurant scene. His passion for the culinary arts has seen him through his career at some of the world’s leading restaurants, gaining him an irrefutable wealth of experience and knowledge that remain his guiding principle in ensuring the utmost level of quality service and consistency at Senso. Colleoni’s climb to success started in France, where he worked at Le Jules Vernes Restaurant in the Eiffel Tower before moving on to manage the Duplex restaurant Paris, and later become the premier máitre d’hotel at Ristorante Bice in Paris. His professionalism has garnered him a third nomination for ‘WMF Restaurant Manager of the Year’ in the WGS Awards of Excellence 2004.
