Pierre Gornes has been promoted as the new Executive Chef for RH Restaurant at the Andaz on the Sunset Strip. Bidding adieu to Chef Sebastien Archambault, who is departing to take on a new venture, Gornes will helm the kitchen delivering on the restaurants market-to-table model and continuing to serve guests some of the best French food in Los Angeles.

Gornes, who has served as sous chef at RH since 2009, was born in the Southwest of France and has worked in highly acclaimed kitchens including the Hotel Bel Air and two Michelin starred restaurants, Les Ambassadeurs at the Hotel de Crillion in Paris and the Alain Ducasse bistro Aux Lyonnais in Paris.

“Pierre is the perfect candidate to take over RH from Chef Sebastien Archambault. He will maintain the market-to-table Southwestern French cooking, which RH is recognized for,” said Michel Morauw, General Manager of Andaz West Hollywood. “Also, learning under Chef Sebastien in RH will ensure the continual neighborhood familiarity and friendly service that guests are accustomed to receiving from RH.”

“Having been a part of the RH culinary team for nearly two years I can honestly say that I wouldn’t change anything about our dining philosophy,” said Gornes. “The only changes guests should expect are some new and exciting seasonal menu items coming in spring.”

“The hybrid of French and California cuisine, the cultivation of relationships with local farms and wine producers are two things I am very proud of,” he added.
