Conrad Bali Appoints Culinary Creator Benoit Chargy as New Executive Chef

Conrad Bali has announced the appointment of Benoit Chargy as the resort’s new, highly anticipated Executive Chef. Overseeing Spice, RIN, East Lobby Lounge and Azure Beach Club, Chargy will be heading all the chefs and kitchen team in Conrad Bali, including in-room dining services.

Having picked up more than 20 culinary awards over the past three years, Benoit was most recently the Executive Chef at Hilton Kuala Lumpur before joining Waldorf Astoria Beijing as the Director of Food and Beverage in July 2017. Benoit has over 30 years of culinary experience under his belt, with a diverse resume comprising stints across Asia, Europe and Africa.

Benoit’s long-standing passion for all things gastronomy saw him travel around the world with Hilton hotels, honing his culinary expertise and adding to his international portfolio of experience. At this juncture of an outstanding career, Benoit is set to elevate the dining experience at Conrad Bali to a whole new level, with an emphasis on creative menu interpretations, locally-sourced ingredients, and the concept of mindful eating.

“Bali is rich in culture and has plenty of exquisite cuisine. I am excited to infuse the distinct cultural nuances of Bali into Conrad Bali’s food and beverage offerings, through the use of locally sourced ingredients,” said Benoit. “In addition, the refreshed offerings will reflect the concept of mindful eating, with plenty of healthy choices on the menu and carefully- calibrated food portions to deliver a satisfying gourmet experience, while minimising wastage.”

Conrad Bali offers multiple distinguished dining outlets, each of which is committed to local sourcing and features evolving seasonal menus. Guests can enjoy Balinese cuisine and live cultural performances at Spice; savour traditional Japanese flavours with a contemporary twist at RIN; take in exceptional seaside views while sipping on signature cocktails and artisanal spirits from East’s sanctuary; or relax by the Indian Ocean in the sun-soaked loungers over deli sandwiches and gourmet pizzas at Azure Beach Club.
