Guillaume Brahimi (born 11 August 1967 in Paris, France) is a French-born chef based in Sydney, Australia.
[citation needed] In 2001, Brahimi secured the contract to run the Bennelong restaurant at the Sydney Opera House.
In December 2013, Brahimi was a crew member aboard racing supermaxi yacht Perpetual Loyal in the 2013 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, with his other celebrity crew members, Karl Stefanovic, Larry Emdur, Tom Slingsby, Phil Waugh and Jude Bolton.
In January 2021 Brahimi was appointed by Crown Sydney as its culinary ambassador helping to promote its dining precinct and the city more broadly as a food destination.
[This quote needs a citation] His dishes seek to celebrate Australian produce, articulated in modern style through French technique.
The dishes might range from his signature East-meets-West entrée, basil infused tuna with mustard seed and soy vinaigrette, to Italian-inspired roasted marron wrapped in prosciutto with risotto, veal jus and truffle, to dishes closer to the classical French repertoire such as his duck confit with pommes Pont Neuf, foie gras and truffle.
In the fourth series of MasterChef Australia in 2012, the last six contestants worked under him for one day at his restaurant Guillaume at Bennelong, cooking a meal for 60 people as part of the competition.
In 2008, more than 50 chefs from Australia's best restaurants participated with teams from Matt Moran (Aria), Neil Perry (Rockpool), Philip Johnson (E'cco), Shannon Bennett (Vue de Monde) and Scott Hallsworth (Nobu).
