Early life and education[]

Claude Le Tohic was born and raised in Brittany, France.[2] He learned to cook and run a restaurant while very young, by working at his family's crêperie.[3] After graduating from high-school, Le Tohic pursued cooking by attending culinary school in Vannes, France.[4] Upon graduation, he accepted an apprenticeship at Les Hortensias, a one Michelin star restaurant in Paris.[3]

Culinary Background[]

Le Tohic began his career at the kitchen of Ghislaine Arabian’s Le Restaurant, a two Michelin star rated restaurant in Lille, France.[3] In 1987, he was offered the position of Chef de Cuisine under Chef Joël Robuchon at Jamin, Chef Robuchon’s first three Michelin star rated restaurant in Paris.[5]

In 2005, Le Tohic was asked by Joël Robuchon to open Joël Robuchon restaurant and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon, both at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas. This partnership between the two chefs featured menus which combined both chefs’ specialties and, in 2010, earned three Michelin stars.[2]

In 2019, Le Tohic opened ONE65 in San Francisco, a six-story multi-concept. ONE65 features four completely distinct designs and cuisines: ONE65 Patisserie & Boutique, ONE65 Bistro & Grill, Elements at ONE65 (a bar and lounge), and O’ by Claude Le Tohic.[6]
